Coders are the new rockstars

If ‘Data visualisation is the new rock’n’roll’ then coders are the new rockstars. Code for me is natural – I’ve been playing for quite a few years but I was never really into exploring data visualisation – Mid last year I was fortunate enough to be given a dream project and I produced the ‘Beautiful Connections’ campaign for Nokia which explored visualising the beauty of everyday conversation.

This allowed me to reconnect with a lot of people I had admired from afar as we used data visualisation, generative art, motion and code to start to explore this space – honestly we’ve got a lot more exploration to do. So in my travels I worked with some exceptional people and also made contact with a whole scene and started to see the ’scenes within the scenes’.

I don’t believe that data visualisation is just the expression of a static data set in a graphical way to try and glean an insight – To me it is taking any data set – static or realtime and expressing this is any other way in any medium.

So lets talk about people (who I think are exploring interesting visualisations with code and interaction), data (what datasets are out there to use), and tools (how to get your hands dirty).
