Visualizing our World of Data

When:  Thursday 14 May 2009, 15:00-17:45 o'clock
Where:  CREA Theater, Turfdraagsterpad 17, Amsterdam, http://crea.uva.nl
Entrance:  free

In a unique cooperation of three master programs, students have  
developed eight interactive visualization projects. Graphic designers  
from the Utrecht Graduate School of Art and Design, media analysts  
from the Faculty of Humanities and computer scientists from the  
Science Faculty of the University of Amsterdam have spent the last  
three months working together in multidisciplinary teams. Based on  
large collections of Flickr photographs, political party programs, and  
global statistical data, visualization tools have been developed that  
enable surprising discoveries about the world we live in.

This event is organized by: MA New Media (UvA), MA Information Science  
(UvA), and MA Editorial Design (MaHKU). Supported by: MultimediaN &  
CREA.

Greetings,
