How about an evening of talks and discussion of visualisation? Sounds good?
Not something I am organising here, I’m afraid, but London-based Kay Thaney and Matt Wood are hosting just such an evening on March 28th (19h00 start) as part of their programme of sameAs events. They say:
We’ll be showcasing some of their work and highlight their unique interpretations and approaches to this month’s topic. You won’t want to miss this.
There’s a great line-up for the evening:
- Noah Illinsky - Co-author of Beautiful Visualisation
- Jade Davies - Visual designer, known for her unique pin-based approach
- Dan Catt - The Guardian, formerly at Flickr
- Jessica Hagy - Behind the blog “Indexed”, showing us humour through drawings on index cards
- Mark Graham - Oxford Internet Institute, Geomapping expert
- Stefanie Posavec - Designer, illustrator and OK Go collaborator
- Thomas Down - Gurdon Institute, creator of the genome browser Dalliance
- Andrew Walkingshaw – Distiller of statistics, co-founder of Timetric
- Brock Craft – Research Fellow at the London Knowledge Lab
The event will take place on the second floor of The Driver pub in Kings Cross (
