Demo Lab | Beyond Data Visualization
Building a beautiful dashboard is easy, you just need to know where to start and how to go about it!Anna Goblyos [DataExpert] Demo Lab (Museo III+IV)
Demo Lab (Museo III+IV)
Take a moment to consider the following. You're at home on a rainy evening, flicking through the TV channels, chatting. Even in such a simple, regular situation there is lots of information around you. Visual stimuli, touch, the smell of tonight's tasty dinner wafting through from the kitchen. But you are aware of only 0.7% of these stimuli, even though (based on Tor Norretanders research) sight operates at almost the same bandwidth as a network of computers.
Knowing this tells us that data visualization is the most powerful form of data interpretation.
Eye-catching, memorable, understandable, easy to follow, meaningful data, a clear story and logical connections, etc. …
These are the key factors of a successful dashboard. But how can we achieve this? It's a long process, starting with the clients' dream and finishing with a beautiful dashboard. For first thing we would say that the most important thing is building the dashboard itself. But think it over. Putting the charts one by one on a page without any concept will lead to confusion. It is only the final step we are doing when finalizing any visualization task. We have to step backward in the process to the design phase.
Having a good design can provide you with an impactful dashboard that has a powerful message which engages the user. Using a perfect design will present you and your dashboard with more visitors, clicks, and quicken the time of understanding the data and how they are connected.
This all sounds good, but how does it work and why is it so important?
We are living in an accelerating world, where we have to get information as effectively as we can. It means that when we look at a dashboard or a presentation, the key information has to be emphasized. When we look at an overcrowded report we need more time to find the numbers that we are really interested in. With a simple design which tells us where to look and leads us to what is next, reading the dashboard feels just as good as reading our favorite book. And the simplicity means that the decision-making process will be even shorter.
During the presentation we will give you the basics in a very interesting and ferial way, by using examples that are known by almost everyone, just without the knowledge. Why? We will consider 3 main areas. First, a theoretical background; the tricks of seeing. You will enjoy several examples which examine how our eyes work. The next step will be the rules we must follow in practice. Finally, a practical summary - we'll show how we created a dashboard from sketch through to final design.

Main room (Natura)
Facing the future, mainstream narratives make us feel stuck in between two opposites: on the one hand, the growth, as a solution for any problem despite the discrimination and on the other hand, the collapse, as a desperate dystopian skyline that will swallow all species. No worries, there is a third option. Based on fieldwork experiences, this talk will showcase the tools and the threads of a story that tell about the world we want to build: sustainable and inclusive. How storytelling can be used to connect the voices of the city, when city life stands as a metaphor to any ecosystem?

Managing Director
Nikki Lavoie, Managing Director of the fast-growing MindSpark Research International, is a spirited and intuitive qualitative specialist who translates her passion for understanding people into strategic insight. Although she is experienced in both traditional and contemporary approaches, she has focused largely on combining ethnographic and digital techniques in a cross-cultural context, as a result of her years spent in the US and as an expat living in Paris. She has written and presented on the power of language and culture within a research context, the use of Emotional Intelligence as an insight asset, and has challenged conventional incentive approaches as means of motivating participants.
