Occasionally something important happens in these practices: a data representation is created that reveals the subject&#8217;s nature with such clarity and grace  that it both informs and moves the viewer. We both understand and care. This is the focus of Information Esthetics.<br \/>\nInformation Esthetics, a recently formed not-for-profit organization, has organized a lecture series dedicated to helping this happen more often.<\/b><br \/>\nFor the full program, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/informationesthetics.org\/\">InformationEsthetics.org<\/a>. Thanks, Brad! We&#8217;ll definitely be there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brad Paley, creator of Text Arc and many other gorgeous data visualizations popular here at if:book, has put together a fascinating lecture series running March through July in New York.
