摘要

Our current obsession with collecting, quantifying and analyzing all types of data is not new. The eighteenth century saw most disciplines in the sciences and the humanities share a "quantifying spirit" characterized by the systematization of knowledge as well as a preoccupation with measuring all types of phenomena. It also saw the creation of novel graphic methods, such as timelines and statistical graphics, to mention two. Jacques Barbeu-Dubourg devised the first known timeline in 1753, somewhat in parallel with Joseph Priestly's 1765 Chart of Biography. Between 1786 and 1801, William Playfair created the pie chart, bar graph, and line and area graphs to depict economic data. It is not uncommon that abundance of data is followed by the invention and application of novel graphic methods . Humanistic and scientific knowledge production and dissemination have used graphic forms throughout history, though its adoption has been slow and in many cases non-existent. However, in recent years, information visualizations have gained unprecedented prominence. In all comers of academia and industry the use of visualizations has risen exponentially, fuelled in part by the need to extract meaning from huge amounts of data and our inabilities to make sense of them without the aid of external cognitive devices. I would argue that a "visualizing spirit" better describes the present passion and widespread use of visual-spatial techniques in the already quantified sciences, humanities and the arts. Furthermore, I would suggest that the centrality of visualizations in many fields reflects their intrinsic value as teaching and learning tools. This talk will examine the antecedents and significance of our present "visualizing spirit". I will focus on recent visualization trends, their roles, affordances and limitations in helping us explore, extract and interpret information.
