I like these simple explanations of things by MAYA. Maybe they could explain how the world began in this style as well.

infographics v fuzzy logic


No wonder news programs don't invite designers on to debate. What a terribly naive position. Information Graphics are not new they are just short hand for the reader to understand multiple points of a story in one image. Like the Guardian's where does our tax money go chart or the IED map in Afghanistan. It shows the reader the scale and perspective of the situation. Surely Edward R Tufte has said most things on this in his 3 books. http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_vdqi

Newsnight debate on infographics. See CR for full article and debate.
I think the crowd sourced map for buses in India was a great idea. Showing how information graphics can be useful. John Maeda said Programmers are the new designers and I think he's right. The question is not if it looks pretty its a question of does it work and is it useful. We are learning to disseminate and question information in many more ways and a whole lot faster tahn ever before. Surely this short hand is the out come of this cultural shift.

another titanium award chalked up





I've seen the idea for latest Titanium award before.
BikesAgainstBush
There was another artist group in NY that did this 4 years back. People texted or emailed their message and a bicycle sprayed it on the side walk or road in real time. The artists at the time got into trouble and arrested by the NYPD.


Now with a corporate sponsor and a big event behind this technology it's award winning and celebrated in the Tour de France. Funny how the backing of a large brand can make technology legitimate. The technology is not new, you didn't invent it you just used it, just be honest about that in your award entry.
