SUMMARY:Critical Visualizations: Rethinking representations of data
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Peter A. HallReader in Graphic Design at CCW\, Univers
 ity of the Arts London\, UK\n\n\nLocation: 17 Hillhouse Avenue\, 3rd floor
 \n\n\n\nAbstract: Information may be beautiful\, but our decisions about t
 he data we choose to represent and how we represent it are never neutral. 
 This insightful history traces how data visualization accompanied modern t
 echnologies of war\, colonialism and the management of social issues of po
 verty\, health and crime. Discussion is based around examples of visualiza
 tion\, from the ancient Andean information technology of the quipu to co
 ntemporary projects that show the fate of our rubbish and take a participa
 tory approach to visualizing cities. This analysis places visualization in
  its theoretical and cultural contexts\, and provides a critical framework
  for understanding the history of information design with new directions f
 or contemporary practice.\n\n\n\nSpeaker bio: Peter A. Hall is Reader in G
