Putting Functional Aesthetics to Work

Struggling to take your data visualizations to the next level? This talk explores the interplay between what we see (perception), what information is encoded (semantics), and what we mean (intent). Combined, this triad creates a powerful subsystem we call “functional aesthetics” as a way of using beauty and form to guide and support function.
