VisWeek 2012 Capstone Speaker

What you are doing as visualization researchers and developers is critical and, in fact, your role is more important than ever in this age of massive data. I and many others desperately want to use your work, but sometimes I just cannot seem to wrap my head around what you are showing-even if it really looks cool. Cool doesn´t cut it for me. This talk will give examples from my own successes and failures in photography and graphics and suggest, with a little imagination and open minds, there might be some lessons learned from my own commitment to delving into and communicating information.
