What is “visualisation”?
Visualisation is the process of presenting data in a form
that allows rapid understanding of relationships and
findings that are not readily evident from raw data.

Five Principle Advantages of Visualization*
1) It helps us comprehend large amounts of data.
2) It helps us perceive emergent properties we might not
have otherwise anticipated.
3) It can reveal problems within the data itself.
4) It facilitates our understanding of large-scale and small-scale
elements.
5) It assists us in forming hypotheses.
*Colin Ware, Director, Data Visualization Research Lab

“Art” of visualization should be
understood as “a creative process
concerned with not just the finished
artifact but the framing, gathering,
connecting, and arraying of data.”
In approaching visualization this way
“we can also imagine it as a critical
practice: sizing up and reformulating a
terrain of knowledge as well as
experimenting with new and alternative
forms.”

Data itself is never neutral; it is collected
for a reason, and processed and presented
for specific purposes…There is no such
thing as raw data.
