Show Me the Data 2012

Show me the data is an annual conference about data visualizations, developed by multidisciplinary students of the master New Media and Computer Science at the UvA and Editorial Design at the Utrecht Graduate School of Visual Art and Design (maHKU). Six teams of students will show their projects, which are interactive data visualizations on various topics, and there will be experts in the field presenting as well. New this year, is that there was special attention for Digital Humanities in the course.

Documentation on the previous years and additional information can be found on the website: www.showmethedata.nl.

This year, the conference will be streamed live from Amsterdam. All attendants are welcome to join at the Oudemanhuispoort, but those who logistically can’t make it, can follow the event on the web. More information on that follows. Footage will also be uploaded afterwards.

The students have pre-presented their projects at Fiber Festival Amsterdam, so here is a little sneak peak. [Info overview below]
