Direc­ted by José Luis de Vicente. Teachers: Ben Cerveny (Stamen), Aaron Koblin, and Manuel Lima. With the support of Besti­a­rio.

This new edition will focus on the impli­ca­ti­ons of using data struc­ture visu­a­li­za­tion to aid in public proces­ses of deci­sion-making. Selec­ted projects and papers will tackle the topic of Open Data and Visu­a­li­za­tion for Govern­ment Trans­pa­rency and Civic Enga­ge­ment.

Visu­a­li­zar’09 inclu­des an inter­na­ti­o­nal semi­nar and an advan­ced project deve­lop­ment works­hop. Both acti­vi­ties will be aimed at the discus­sion about trans­pa­rency of data to make public discus­sion and debate possi­ble, regar­ding the poli­ti­cal, social, and scien­ti­fic proces­ses. Conse­quently, one of the objec­ti­ves of Visu­a­li­zar’09 will be the deve­lop­ment of new stra­te­gies for commu­ni­ca­ting these data and retur­ning them to the public domain.

Projects will be on show­case until Janu­ary 2010 at the Medi­a­lab-Prado.

All those inter­es­ted in colla­bo­ra­ting in one of the selec­ted projects can sign in from Octo­ber 16 to Novem­ber 11.
