David Coxon, ICT Manager at Baltic ghas been experimenting with his own dat avisualisations. 

David Coxon (ICT Manager at Baltic) started experimenting with the creation of his own infographics recently and did a really terrific job. He used ‘Processing’ a programming language and development environment that since 2001 has promoted software literacy within the visual arts. Initially created to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing quickly developed into a tool for creating finished professional work as well. You can see more about processing here: http://processing.org/about/

These data visualisations beautifully show the top 50 exhibitions that the Baltic has staged and a variety of statistics from the 20 written articles David has produced for ‘Tech notes’ a weekly column in the Journal newspaper.

Jer Thorp spoke at length about data visualisations at the CultureCode Boutique and how important they can be for understanding your organisation better.
