Visualization Through Interdisciplinary Creativity

This resource discussed using Complexity Science, an interdisciplinary approach, to data visualization projects.

Overview

While data visualization often involves collaboration between teams with different skill sets, a dominant business context generally drives the team’s communication goals. What would be the result of a collaboration environment with no predetermined dominant context? What would be the result of a team collaboration in which different skills were treated as colors of a palette, where each skill added its strength, where the team itself decided the concept and direction of the project? Could we use Complexity Science problems to create an environment in which all professional disciplines—scientists, journalists, artists, designers, developers—could provide their own type of creativity, that ability to produce results that are both novel and appropriate? Complexity Science Hub is an institution that operates within an international network of like-minded institutions, fostering a dynamic exchange of knowledge and talent.
