This week I spent teaching a workshop at Media Lab Helsinki, on the topic of Information Visualization and Design (IVD). Among the topics covered were a basic introduction to the theory of graphics by Jacques Bertin. Two exercises were succesfully accomplished by the group comprising 14 hard working MA students. These were:

1. Personal Timeline Chart. (See selected works here:infodescomp.pdf)
   
2. Affective Map (For more information, press here: mapping.pdf.)
