This is the first of a special two-part episode featuring my esteemed guests, Moritz Stefaner, ‘Truth & Beauty Operator’ based in Germany, and Enrico Bertini, Associate Professor, Data Visualization Researcher and Educator at Northeastern University in the USA.
The conversations explored Moritz and Enrico’s respective selections of FIVE significant visualisation-related works, produced by other people, that have most influentially shaped their thinking about data visualisation. They then each offer a further +1 selection from their own body of work that they felt had had most significance on their career story.
In this first-part episode we covered Moritz’s selections as follows:
- #1 Shape of Song (2001) – Martin Wattenberg (related paper)
- #2 We feel fine (2006) – Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar (related video)
- #3 xkcd: tic tac toe (2012/13?) – Randall Munroe
- #4 You draw it (2015) – Gregor Aisch, Amanda Cox, Kevin Quealy
- #5 Warming stripes (2018) – Inspired by Ellie Highwood, then conceived, executed and popularised by Ed Hawkins.
- +1 Organic Link Network (2002) – Moritz Stefaner
