Libera Università di Bolzano; Piazza Università, 39100 Bolzano Bozen, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Presented at the International and Interdisciplinary Conference IMMAGINI? Image and Imagination between Representation, Communication, Education and Psychology, Brixen, Italy, 27–28 November 2017. Published: 10 November 2017 Abstract: What kind of images are data visualizations? Are they mere abstract transformations of numerical data? Should they reduce the phenomenal world into a set of pre-codified shapes? Or can they represent natural phenomena through figurative strategies? What is the boundary between useless decoration, narrative illustration and helpful visual metaphors? Through post-design reflections on a visual journalism project, the paper focuses on the context-dependent role of images in data visualization. Keywords: data visualization; visual journalism; illustration and decoration; abstraction and pictographic communication 1. Introduction What kind of images are data visualizations? Are they mere abstract transformations of numerical data? Should they reduce the phenomenal world into a set of pre-codified shapes? Or can they represent natural phenomena through figurative strategies? Where does the boundary lie between useless decoration, narrative illustration and helpful visual metaphors? Since the theoretical work and practical implementation of Otto Neurath [1,2], much has been argued about the necessary balance between scientific accuracy and communicational efficiency in data visualization. Since then, how to translate quantitative information into readable graphs has been the terrain for debate between the advocates of dryness and objectivity [3–5] and the defenders of a more playful and inventive approach [6,7].

Photography 59 JR: Chronicles A comprehensive overview on the French artist who has transformed cities worldwide with his epic portraits of their inhabitants Over the past two decades, French artist JR has massively expanded the impact of public art through his ambitious projects that give visibility and agency to people around the world. Showcasing the full scope of the artist’s career, JR: Chronicles accompanies the first major exhibition in North America of works by the French-born artist. Working at the intersections of photography, social engagement and street art, JR collaborates with communities by taking individual portraits, reproducing them at a monumental scale and wheat pasting them—sometimes illegally—in nearby public spaces. This superbly produced volume traces JR’s career from his early documentation of graffiti artists as a teenager in Paris to his large-scale architectural interventions in cities worldwide, to his more recent digitally collaged murals that create collective portraits of diverse publics.
