data disorder thesis vehicle: writing #3
Most of my thesis is paper bound—two dimensional. My experiments will most likely exist as a compendium of poster series. I think the poster format is something I feel capable of tackling, and in the end, is easily digestible as part of an exhibition. Likewise, in considering a formal thesis as comprised of a series of sets, there is room to change styles, color schemes, and type with more frequency than a book project. Though my final presentation is poster format, I would like to explore other ways of visualizing data, too. Since information design has become a large domain for interaction and user experience practitioners, I would like to undertake at least one project that utilizes story boarding to illustrate a how a graphic might change over time or exist on the web. At some point, I would like to take my formal experiments into the three dimensional realm and consider how some some data can be communicated spatially. I am also interested in sound as a conduit for data visualization.
