Information design is a functional art practiced by every culture in every time period. Paul Kahn will review examples from many domains – theology, art history, physical and social science, engineering and business – to illustrate how information design encompasses the selection and encoding of both qualitative and quantitative data to serve nine general functions.
Re-evaluating information design history in this broad sense can help us gain perspective on how qualitative and quantitative information are both part of the information design story. The talk will explore the multiplicity of information design strategies human cultures have devise over many centuries. Our biggest challenge today is not only learning how to write software programs to become masters of all the numeric data we possess. It is learning how to select and shape information to make meaning.
