The weight of data

Some of the craziest information design examples I have ever seen. Apparently, moving graphs have a much bigger impact - I should definitely take my final project into this sphere later.

The iphone part of the talk about how the location data is stored in our iphones without us knowing about it and how it can be used was really interesting to me. I liked Thorp's idea of how the data put into a human context gains meaning - I myself agree to this and believe that this is the idea behind any information design piece that is produced. It has to be put into a human context to be accessible and to be understandable.
