1. ARTS 2090 Task 2
Making Something Invisible Visible
Group Members: Georgia, Stephanie, Kallie

2. The nature of contemporary
visualisation
 The process of making something invisible visible
 The production of data-based images and data
graphics
 They reveal patterns and clusters
 Visualisations give a persuasive approach to the
data

3. In which publics do visualisations
intervene?
 Climate science, politics, psychology, economics,
education, and the government
 Visualisations are a form of control
 “If I can see it, I can control it”
 Can also be used to negative effect
 Important to consider the ethical boundaries that
protect individual privacy

4. What are we making visible?
 Information Graphic: Moods in relation to time.
 We asked ten people in the Eastern Suburbs from
Monday to Friday at both 10am-3pm their mood.
 Based on a scale 10- Ecstatic
1- Very low

5. Creating it or making it
visible?
 Moods will always pre-exist
 They are both deeply private and subjective
 Creating a tangible recollection of how moods are
impacted by external factors such as time.
