Chart Wars: The Political Power of Data Visualization

Came across a great Ignite video through the Information Aesthetics blog today entitled “Chart Wars: The Political Power of Data Visualization”.

Presented at Ignite DC by Alex Lundry,VP and Director of Research at TargetPoint. It’s an entertaining presentation that looks at how visualizing data can make it more memorable and also covers some data-visualization “sins” that occasionally get employed to help tilt a visual in favour of certain outcomes.

For those who don’t know, the Ignite format is a presentation style where a speaker has 5 minutes to give their talk. As part of the format the get 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds (the presenter has no control). There are Ignite events all over the world nowadays – find one in your neck of the woods at their site.
