It is no secret that in our time, whether he wants it or not, a stream of information, unprecedented in the pre-media era, falls down every minute. Its quality depends not only on the reliability of the facts or relevance, but also on the form of presentation. That infographics can and should be a part of our visual culture is demonstrated by the project - a competition for young artists experimenting with creative, aesthetically pleasing ways of visual presentation of information.
The competition was organized last year by David McCandless and Aziz Cami to celebrate the wittiest and most beautiful works in data visualization, infographics and data journalism. This is an open online project - judges choose the winners from hundreds of applications sent to the competition website.
This year's finalists were announced on November 22nd and their work definitely deserves to spend a little time learning about the links, arrows, transitions and small details. They graphically explored everything from what it takes to win an Oscar to the qualifications of Nobel Prize winners. The winner of each category received $ 25,000 and was widely known in narrow circles.
The first place in the category "data visualization" was taken by the studio "Nobels, no degrees" ("Nobel without a degree"). The graph shows the relationship between the year that Nobel Prize winners received the award, their age, formal education and place of birth. All information (in a manner somewhat reminiscent of an ECG scan) is marked with dots on the X and Y axes.
This year's silver medalist, Christian Tate, has created the "How to win an Oscar" graphic by analyzing each character played by the Main Actor / Actress Award winners since 1928, with the purpose of identifying the factors leading to victory, ranging from facial hair, and ending with the degree of reliability of the story of the movie hero.
Two other works received special mention: Field of Commemoration by Valentina D'Efilippo, showing the number of war casualties in the 20th century, and Taxonomy of Comic Book Characters. heroes of comics ) Tim Leong (Tim Leong)
In the infographics category this year, the winner is Derek Kim's Global Warning, which, despite the pun in the title, sums up the sad results of the 2007-2008 economic crisis and visualizes its effect on the current the state of the world economy, and Valerio Pelligrini's student work Atlas of Kants Legacy (Atlas of Kant's literary heritage) deserved a special award.
The most creative award of the competition went to the New York team for the interactive online project Billionaires Index.
