I also became more interested in the evocative, implicit communication aspects of the visualization as I explored the existing charts. I felt uncomfortable with their character; from a visual point of view the Flare charts looked appealing, yet a bit too fragile. However, there was also a much bigger concern: while it is interesting to approach a cultural phenomenon like a media art prize in purely quantitative terms, we felt as though we were losing a sense of the scale and diversity of the data and characterizing it in strokes that were too broad. Effective visualization has a strong relation to summarization and prioritization; however, simply creating some rather abstract charts would not have done the topic itself justice. Might not there be a way to display the totals, fractions, and interrelationships without neglecting or even hiding the individual submissions?
