‘visualisation consumerism’ is used to show data to a large amount of people. Bertini says there is nothing inherently wrong with this approach if it’s done well and it’s used to help people “generate knew knowledge”. But if it’s used thoughtlessly to ‘sex up’ boring reports then it just becomes visual junk food: high in short-term pleasure but devoid of anything that will give you long-term sustenance.

Dotspotting is the first project Stamen is releasing as part of Citytracking, a project funded by the Knight News Challenge. We’re making tools to help people gather data about cities and make that data more legible. The code for Dotspotting is available for download on Github, and licensed for use under the GNU General Public License.
