Drew Hemment and FutureEverything have been commissioned by the Cultural Olympiad in the Northwest to scope out a major data visualisation artwork for London 2012.
Millions of mouse clicks and thumb prints will generate a huge volume of data. Data is the material for datavisualisation artists, who sculpt, animate and make sense of the data. The data can be analysed to tell compelling stories and create beautiful images. Data visualisation can make visible the flow of global communication and the interaction of millions of people around the world.
