The Art of Data Visualization by PBS Arts: Off Book

“Style and aesthetics cannot rescue failed content.”

Beauty “…as a by-product of the truth and the goodness of the information.”

“We are dealing with data and systems that are larger than anything humans have ever built.”

Reading the text (code)

Digital computers aren’t the only interpreters of code.
