Staged Analysis
(2016)
In this paper we examine the concept of staged analysis through a case study on visualizing urban mobility exhibited in a public gallery space. Recently, many cities introduced bike-sharing in order to promote cycling among locals and visitors. We explore how citizens can be guided from evocative impressions of bicycling flows to comparative analysis of three bike-sharing systems. The main aim for visualizations in exhibition contexts is to encourage a shift from temporary interest to deeper insight into a complex phenomenon. To pursue this ambition we introduce cf. city flows, a comparative visualization environment of urban bike mobility designed to help citizens casually analyze three bike-sharing systems in the context of a public exhibition space. Multiple large screens show the space of flows in bike-sharing for three selected world cities: Berlin, London, and New York. Bike journeys are represented in three geospatial visualizations designed to be progressively more analytical, from animated trails to small-multiple glyphs. In this paper, we describe our design concept and process, the exhibition setup, and discuss some of the insights visitors gained while interacting with the visualizations.
In this article we present a case study on digital representation of the art historical research and metadata brought together for a scientific collection catalogue by the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg. The resulting interface aims at linking the structure and texture of a collection of drawings by Frederick William IV of Prussia (1795–1861) with additional contextual information. The article describes the context of the larger research project and presents the resulting visualization and interaction techniques specifically designed for dynamic exploration along time and subjects.
As cultural institutions are digitizing their artifacts and interlinking their collections, new opportunities emerge to engage with cultural heritage. However, it is the often comprehensive and complex nature of collections that can make it difficult to grasp their distribution and extent across a variety of dimensions. After a brief introduction to the research area of collection visualizations, this paper presents a design study visualizing an aggregated collection from diverse cultural institutions in Germany. We detail our iterative design process leading to prototypical implementations of four stylistically and functionally coordinated visualizations, each one focusing on different facets of the collection.
Surprise Machines is a project of experimental museology that sets out to visualize the entire image collection of the Harvard Art Museums, with a view to opening up unexpected vistas on more than 200,000 objects usually inaccessible to visitors. The project is part of the exhibition organized by metaLAB (at) Harvard entitled Curatorial A(i)gents and explores the limits of artificial intelligence to display a large set of images and create surprise among visitors. To achieve this feeling of surprise, a choreographic interface was designed to connect the audience’s movement with several unique views of the collection.
Von der Wolke zum Pfad
(2022)
Die in den letzten Jahren entstandenen explorativen Visualisierungen musealer Sammlungen widmen sich zumeist einzelnen Sammlungen, welche oft einer spezifischen Systematik folgen und eine geringe Vielfalt an Objektgattungen und Attributen aufweisen. Das hier vorgestellte Forschungsprojekt stellte sich die Frage, wie verschiedene, in sich heterogene, Sammlungen miteinander verknüpft, visualisiert und exploriert werden können, ohne die Unterschiede zwischen ihnen zu nivellieren. Dazu wurden im Rahmen einer Forschungskooperation mit den Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin die Bestände aus dem 19. Jahrhundert der Alten Nationalgalerie sowie des Museums Europäischer Kulturen ausgewählt. Das Ziel war es, übergreifende Zusammenhänge und Resonanzen zwischen den Sammlungen aufzugreifen und dynamische, interaktive Arrangements zu entwickeln, welche die assoziative Exploration von Beständen anregen. Das Ergebnis ist ein interaktiver Prototyp, der eine globale Übersicht in Form einer annotierten Wolke mit der lokalen Perspektive eines auf Ähnlichkeiten basierten Pfads verknüpft.
