infostehtics: form follows data

Andrew Vande Moere digs deep in his information channels to gather the most interesting forms of data visualization. Yes, those common diagrams and charts that haunted you during your school days (for example, displaying the annual per capita income of Togo’s citizens in the most boring way). However, his blog infosthetics.com brings up the most beautiful outpourings of information aesthetics. For him this is a symbiosis between creative design and information visualization: form follows data and evolves in such unique graphs that you can call them art. Can you? PingMag talked to Andrew about infosthetics.
