As part of our Oceania MathsJam Gathering weekend extravaganza, we offer a keynote talk open to the public. All are welcome to attend this talk for koha / gold coin at the door.In an age of fake news and misinformation, data visualisation has become essential for building bridges between experts and the general public. Creating not only truthful, but also functional, beautiful, and insightful visualisation is an art form. For far too long have we been plagued by, at its best, ugly and, at its worst, misleading charts. Dr. Bartneck will present some of the foundational ideas, challenges and technologies used to turn data into beautiful information. This includes examples of spectacular successes and failures.
Guest speaker: Christoph Bartneck
