Among retail investors ("main street" investors as opposed to Wall Street), passive investing (i.e. investing through index funds and ETFs) has increased significantly over the past decades, at the expense of active investing (e.g. buying individual stocks).

My approach with this week's assignment to construct some initial quantitative views was to focus on current census data, obtained through the US Census's API.

For my first set of qualitative posters, I thought a little too big. I was thinking too outside the actual space of the posters, more so how each design would fit into a larger viz puzzle rather than standing alone as an individual piece. This time, based on the feedback…
Attached is my revised qualitative poster. The purpose of the poster is to illustrate text quotes from sports autobiographies grouped by metaphor into 5 main categories (with 3 sub-categories in each). The main categories have been converted into questions to increase the intuitive perception for the viewer. The quotes that…
Lev Manovich says this about data mapping as the "anti-sublime", the title term at the heart of his essay:"If Romantic artists thought of certain phenomena and effects as un-representable, as something which goes beyond the limits of human senses and reason, data visualisation artists target the exact opposite: to…

I found this week’s reading to be quite tough – Manovich’s oblique, academic, and often philosophical language was at times quite hard for me to navigate. As someone who identifies more as a pragmatist than artist in his pursuit of data visualization, many of the examples and projects Manovich…

In Lev Manovich’s essay “The Anti-Sublime Ideal in New Media,” it speaks about the revolutionary role computer technology had on data visualization. It changed the way we look, collect, scale, and display data. Taking what were abstract concepts or big data sets, while drawing on and sometime re-inventing previous…

Visualization practice lends itself, albeit in different forms, to every discipline—however, the sciences have held a stronghold on the field, producing…
This is a very interesting read as it draws on many historical events, figures, and technologies to make points about data visualization. Personally, I feel that anything which requires the eyes to read is a data visualization. (In fact, one may argue if brail is in fact a data visualization.…
