Information may be beautiful, but our decisions about the data we
choose to represent and how we represent it are never neutral. This
insightful history traces how data visualization accompanied modern
technologies of war, colonialism and the management of social
issues of poverty, health and crime. Discussion is based around
examples of visualization, from the ancient Andean information
technology of the quipu to contemporary projects that show the fate
of our rubbish and take a participatory approach to visualizing
cities. This analysis places visualization in its theoretical and
cultural contexts, and provides a critical framework for
understanding the history of information design with new directions
for contemporary practice.
