Update: Got the names of the creators of the two outstanding visualizations presented by Ben Fry.

This post summarizes my impressions of the see conference #3 in Wiesbaden, Germany on April, 19th. The topic of the conference was „Visualization of Information“ (that's why I was there) and the target audience was mainly designers and design students. The speakers were intentionally selected from various domains such as design, architecture, information visualization research, and art. The location, an old cinema, was very nice:

The talks in chronological order:

1. Dr. Fritz Reusswig – Researcher for climate change effects: „Climate change as design and communication challenge“
2. Frank van Ham – IBM Visual Communications Lab: „Social Collaboration around Visualization“
3. Ben Fry – Designer: „Visualizing Data“
4. Julien De Smedt – JDS Architects: „Perception of Space“
5. Zachary Lieberman – Performing Artist: „Making the Invisible Visible“
6. Bruce Sterling – Science Fiction Author: „When is the Visualization Better Than the Thing“
