Perception

There are many experts who have dared to predict, for the 21st century, the fundamental role that data visualization will play in multiple areas of human endeavor. Indeed, they do not only refer to visualization tools used in a strictly business context: their reference is expanded by granting the interface a leading role in areas apparently as far removed from business as art and culture. What's more, they predict that both the interface and the new visualization tools will be much more than mere elements (although with notable functions) in the cultural field: they will form, according to their predictions, a new paradigm. culs143647 Data visualization: a new paradigm in art and culture Raw data is crude, difficult to handle, cold and of course without any type of aesthetic beauty. What's more, talking about "beauty" seems more than just incompatible with the data: it is completely out of place.

Data and aesthetics are, for many (and we can rightly think) issues that are incommensurable with each other, uneven and without any type of apparent relationship. However, the data evidence a certain type of proportionality, obviously relative and without the possibility of universal application, but clearly understandable in its context, even more so if they are interpreted and "translated" into information using visualization tools . And if we think about it a little carefully we will see that this proportionality, pleasing to the eye when we are offered sets of ordered data, properly structured, clear and with a clear purpose, generates a certain feeling of pleasure , of satisfactory vision, of pleasure beyond of the information and implicit knowledge they provide. Could we talk about USA Student Phone Number List something similar to a new cultural and artistic discourse emerging from data visualization ? Well, apparently, that's how it is. This is demonstrated by the use of enormous amounts of data used (even randomly) to generate aesthetically harmonious and beautiful visualizations that fulfill an exclusively artistic purpose. And although the applications of data visualization in art could perfectly occupy an article by themselves (we will address the issue on future occasions), the truth is that this possibility, this relationship between culture and data visualization has generated an important cultural movement that supports visualization in a similar way as, at the time, the pioneers of cinema contributed to the seventh art.



No one doubts that the image, first at the hands of photography and later on the big screen, has established an undeniable cultural paradigm throughout the 20th century. So, would it be so unthinkable to imagine that data visualization tools would represent another twist in the cultural evolution of the image ? If this new trend is confirmed, we would find ourselves facing an exceptional and clearly unforeseen application of one of the key tools of business intelligence . Of course, to do this, we will have to be attentive to how its application evolves in the cultural context, what interest it generates and whether it is attractive enough to weave around it a movement that justifies talking about data visualization in such emphatic terms. At the moment and from what it seems, it is undeniable that his journey along cultural paths has started on the right foot and that his reception in this field has been as surprising as it is, by many, unconditional.
