The Computational Designer 3:Q

The Computational Designer 3:Q



“The computational designer as more of a choreographer, whose task is to order and move the elements of a continually changing space. “

  1. This is essentially the core principles of dynamic or conditional design practices, rather than providing solutions to design problems you provide functions, these functions can change and evolve due to the interaction with them. sort of like a-b testing but in real-time. All of this ideology in relationship to data visualization seems mute. When we have massive neural networks that can sift, compile, organize information to create a visualization, interactions and/or spaces using datasets that are constantly changing. is the process of automatic design still a “bad” word?

  2. Is it necessary to “visualize” information for an audience if the data is constantly changing, could you argue that Facebook itself is data visualization at its best? Being that it looks at a large dataset and constructs a feed of information that is “most” relevant to its viewer. There are issues with this highlighted by the current “bubble” language.

  3. But aside from its adverse effects, could this method of data visualization be a step above the general understanding of data visualization?
