the question is does the visualization of the data give us any more meaning?
there was a piece in corner house a couple of years ago that used crime statistics (old school data)
to create a land form or contour map (more crime higher the land mass).
it visuall gave you a representation of where the city was BAD as oppsoed to saying such and such street was a high crime spot you could see the areas on the map. Sim city does the same thing with crime and fire coverage, overlaying visualy data from another source.
Is it art? who knows, are they just pretty pictures? maybe it's just a form of abstract representation.
back to you Sid
