Coded Visualization: the Rhetoric and Aesthetics of Data-Based Cultural CODED VISUALIZATION: THE RHETORIC AND AESTHETICS OF DATA-BASED CULTURAL INTERFACE A Dissertation Presented to The Academic Faculty by Tanyoung Kim In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication Georgia Institute of Technology May 2013 COPYRIGHT 2013 BY TANYOUNG KIM CODED VISUALIZATION: THE RHETORIC AND AESTHETICS OF DATA-BASED CULTURAL INTERFACE Approved by: Dr. Carl DiSalvo, Advisor Dr. John Stasko School of Literature, Media, and School of Interactive Computing Communication Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia Institute of Technology Dr. Jay David Bolter Dr. Johanna Drucker School of Literature, Media, and Graduate School of Education and Communication Information Studies Georgia Institute of Technology University of California, Los Angeles Dr. Ian Bogost School of Literature, Media, and Communication Georgia Institute of Technology Date Approved: April 2, 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is difficult to explain how much gratitude and thankfulness I feel to have support from these people. First of all, I especially thank my thesis readers. Without my advisor, Carl DiSalvo’s guidance, encouragement, critiques, and patience, I would never have finished this dissertation. John Stasko has also supported me endlessly since I first took his class that opened my eyes to visualization. Jay Bolter and Ian Bogost, the great digital media scholars, have guided me not to miss critical points in my dissertation. I am grateful that Johanna Drucker, who wrote the most significant books for my research, served as one of my committee members. I also thank other fantastic faculty members in the Digital Media Program. Brian Magerko supported me in successfully performing my first research in Atlanta. Janet Murray has always inspired me with her ingenious insights and knowledge. Ali Mazalek’s class stirred my interest in computational design. A former faculty member, John Sharp, taught a class on aesthetics that helped me to find paths when I was overwhelmed with this grand topic. My dearest friend, Heekyoung Jung encouraged me to survive the entire Ph.D. journey. She has supported me not only with her loyal friendship but also with advice as a great researcher in a close field. My fellow Ph.D. students are also invaluable to my survival: Hye Yeon Nam, Jean Ho Chu, Hank Blumenthal, Jill Fantauzzacoffin, and Nettrice Gaskins. My life in i Atlanta would have been miserable without Shannon Yao and Christine Wu, the sweetest people I know. Public Design Workshop members gave me advice along the long journey: Jon Lukens, Thomas Lodato and Tom Jenkins. I also appreciate Rebecca Rolfe for reading the manuscript and correcting my bad English. The best geek ever, Melanie Richard always solved any technical problems I had. Another geek, Tae Won Cho never said that I was bothering him with my stupid coding questions. Jeff Rosenblum and Clarin Ellard made me physically healthier and stronger. I just cannot list all other friends who supported me. At last, I thank my family for loving and enduring me. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS i LIST OF TABLES ix LIST OF FIGURES x SUMMARY xiv CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1 2 Identifying problem spaces 7 2.1.

  • Social Data Biases and Methodological Pitfalls
    A Social Data: Biases, Methodological Pitfalls, and Ethical Boundaries Alexandra Olteanu Carlos Castillo, Eurecat Fernando Diaz, Microsoft Research Emre Kıcıman, Microsoft Research Social data in digital form, which includes user-generated content, expressed or implicit relationships between people, and behavioral traces, are at the core of many popular applications and platforms, and drive the research agenda of many re- searchers. The promises of social data are many, including understanding “what the world thinks” about a social issue, brand, product, celebrity, or other entity, as well as enabling better decision making in a variety of fields including public policy, healthcare, and economics. Many academics and practitioners have warned against the na¨ıve usage of social data. There are biases and inaccuracies at the source of the data, but also introduced during processing. There are methodological limitations and pitfalls, as well as ethical boundaries and unexpected consequences that are often overlooked. This survey recognizes that the rigor with which these issues are addressed by different researchers varies across a wide range. We present a framework for identifying a broad range of menaces in the research and practices around social data. Additional Key Words and Phrases: Social media, user-generated content, behavioral traces, biases, evaluation 1. INTRODUCTION “For your own sanity, you have to remember that not all problems can be solved. Not all problems can be solved, but all problems can be illuminated.” –Ursula Franklin1 This survey covers a series of concerns on the usage by researchers of social data for a variety of goals. To set the context, in this section, we describe social data and what is it being used for (x1.1), outline general concerns about its usage as voiced by academics in the past (x1.2), and overview the remainder of the survey (x1.3).

  • Jonathan Harris (Photo by Björn Valdimarsson, Courtesy Harris)
    How the Internet’s most earnest evangelist became its fiercest critic By Caitlin Dewey October 28 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/10/28/how-the- internets-most-earnest-evangelist-became-its-fiercest-critic/ Jonathan Harris (Photo by Björn Valdimarsson, courtesy Harris) Jonathan Harris has spent much of his time lately doing two things: writing computer code and meditating. Code is old hat to Harris, an acclaimed digital artist and in-demand TED-talker, who learned to program at Princeton in the late-’90s. The marathon Zen meditations are, however, a more recent addition: Harris’ latest, ever more desperate attempt to reclaim his mind from his Macbook screen. To hear Harris tell it, it’s a battle that he’s waged, on and off, for the past seven years, ever since his early, unbridled optimism about the Internet’s potential began scoring him commissions and high-paid speaking gigs. The Internet is still his medium today. In early October, he released Network Effect, his first major project in two years. But where his earlier work celebrated big data and social networking, Network Effect pans both as dystopian. “I don’t want to suggest that some moments are more valuable than others,” Harris said on the phone from New York, where he and his meditation-guru girlfriend are about to catch a plane to Australia. “However, I would say the mindset we inhabit on the Internet is a mindset that stops us from seeing moments as sacred.” “Staring at a glowing rectangle,” he’ll say several times, “is no way to live.” A still from Harris’ latest project, “Network Effect.” (Jonathan Harris) If that seems an odd conviction for a programmer with project proposals out at Google, Twitter and Netflix, Harris readily admits: It is! But the messy-haired, soft-spoken 35-year-old — who really does speak in terms of “mindsets” and “moments” and “ways to live” — has long bucked standard procedures and expectations.

  • Chapter 1 Social Big Data: an Overview and Applications
    Chapter 1 Social Big Data: An Overview and Applications Bilal Abu-Salih1, Pornpit Wongthongtham2 Dengya Zhu3 , Kit Yan Chan3 , Amit Rudra3 1The University of Jordan 2 The University of Western Australia 3 Curtin University Abstract : The emergence of online social media services has made a qualitative leap and brought profound changes to various aspects of human, cultural, intellectual, and social life. These significant Big data tributaries have further transformed the businesses processes by establishing convergent and transparent dialogues between businesses and their customers. Therefore, analysing the flow of social data content is necessary in order to enhance business practices, to augment brand awareness, to develop insights on target markets, to detect and identify positive and negative customer sentiments, etc., thereby achieving the hoped-for added value. This chapter presents an overview of Social Big Data term and definition. This chapter also lays the foundation for several applications and analytics that are broadly discussed in this book. Keywords: Social Big Data; Social Credibility; Domain Knowledge; Sentiment Analysis; Affective Design; Predictive Analytics; 1.1 Introduction The social media services, positioned on the throne of cyberspace, in their broad sense, cover an ample set of freely accessible electronic platforms that are built to encourage and simplify communication between people with similar interests by enabling interactive conversations and exchanging information regardless of physical location. Those virtual platforms are continuing to spread exponentially by providing social communication services to their affiliated members. The services offered by these sites have expanded, providing their consumers with extensive possibilities for exchanging information in the fields of education, health, culture, sports and other domains of knowledge [1, 2].
