Graphic language for touch

Graphic language for touch, originally uploaded by densitydesign.

This work explores the visual link between information and physical things, specifically around the emerging use of the mobile phone to interact with RFID or NFC.
As mobile phones are increasingly able to read and write to RFID tags embedded in the physical world, I am wondering how we will appropriate this for personal and social uses.
I’m interested in the visual link between information and physical things. How do we represent an object that has digital function, information or history beyond it’s physical form? What are the visual clues for this interaction? We shouldn’t rely on a kind of mystery meat navigation (the scourge of the web-design world)

It’s shaped like a trade paperback book, but its hellzapoppin pages look like a glossy, madcap magazine. Really, Content is more like an explosion in an idea factory, or a wild party thrown by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas in a mood considerably more delirious than his classic 1978 manifesto Delirious New York. It has 70 or 80 sections that look like magazine articles, and they’re loosely organized in geographical order, from west to east. Pieces on Koolhaas’s projects for Prada and MCA/Universal in LA and the acclaimed Seattle Public Library lead to syncopated meditations on Guggenheim Las Vegas, Chicago’s van der Rohe “Miestakes,” a modest plan to save Cambridge from Harvard by rechanneling the Charles River, Lagos’ future as Earth’s third-biggest town, the Hermitage’s strange Russian past, Shanghai’s Expo 2010, and Asia’s skyscrapers, which now outnumber those of the West. When Koolhaas interviews Martha Stewart and gets a Las Vegas update from Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, it’s straightforward, but many pages are as mystifying as hallucinations–apropos of nothing, a woman is depicted leaving her infrared heat signature on a tombstone, and Vermeer paintings are paired with scenes from TV’s Big Brother. You don’t read Content in linear fashion, you page through it amazed, gradually acquiring Koolhaas’ ultracultivated taste for the bizarre.

Content, graphically speaking, is a little compendium of visuals for data and concept explanations.

How to build a Graph, originally uploaded by densitydesign.

InfoVis.net is a project devoted to Information Visualisation, seen as the process of incorporation of knowledge through the perception of information, mainly (but not only) in visual form.
Sometimes it is confused with Information Design. Info Design is part of InfoVis.

In order to contribute to the definition of this emerging specialty.
To build a technical and social reference of the same.
To build, in a collaborative way, a “State of the Art” around InfoVis .
