Pamplona March 25th-27th, 2020

[Postponed due to the Covid19 pandemic: to April 2021.]
Big-Data is not exactly an enormous amount of information that someone could envision. Rather, is a selected range of quantified and qualified raw data whose consequence is a framework, a structured assortment of information about almost everything, for instance, the costumers' emotional behavior or the history of literary characters. Once obtained, Big-Data requires a sort of visual narrative that allows us reading and diving into the data structure. The issue to explore in this workshop is how to develop patterns of visualization regarding precise requirements, and the way to get narrative depictions of data in order to accomplish reading methods that allow us to attain multiple perspectives about a set of available information. Furthermore, from this endeavor would arise a groundbreaking rhetoric of visualization.
This workshop has three sections: the first one (midday 26th, March) will deal with Medieval logical trees, and it will be held by GEP-UNAV; the second one is a set of papers on the specific challenges about data visualization (25th-26th March); and, the third one (27th, March) is a collective construction of a digital tool in order to develop a digital-storytelling that will gather different examples of Medieval visualizations, and it will be coordinated by Calibro Studio (Milan).
