PUBLIC MARKS with tag data-visualisation

Visualisation design is today in rapid expansion, relying on more frequent direct collaborations between designers and scientists and trying to keep up with an ever-growing computational power that churns out raw data at astounding speeds. Besides strong graphic-design skills, however, working with data in an Internet-savvy world also requires a strong sense of space and time, as well as the gift of synthesis. That is why so many architects and designers are trying their hand at this new form of communication, also as an alternative to making and building in the physical world, where both the economic and the environmental crises are limiting their work. The examples on these pages represent the highest quality of design in a range of different topics and stand in for many others as paragons. All but one, that is. Please get acquainted with a memorable 2010 diagram of the American strategy in Afghanistan, prepared for General Stanley A. McChrystal and hailed by Elisabeth Bumiller as an example of how not to visualise information.

La télévision est vivante ! De plus en plus, les téléspectateurs commentent, partagent et interagissent sur les réseaux sociaux autour des programmes que ce soit avant, pendant voire après leur diffusion. On parle d'ailleurs de Social TV, ou «télévision sociale», pour décrire ces usages émergents. Pour illustrer ce phénomène, nous mesurons chaque jour, à partir de 19h, en temps réel et pour l’ensemble des chaines de la TNT, l’activité sociale publique sur Twitter autour des prime time. Basés sur la présence de mots clés dans les tweets (nom du programme, hashtags officiels, ...), les indicateurs ainsi calculés - sans qu'ils ne constituent toutefois des valeurs absolues et exhaustives - nous permettent de faire émerger des tendances et d’illustrer de nouveaux types de comportements.
