Re-imaging the empirical: Statistical visualisation in art and science

该项目旨在调查统计图像如何重塑从面部识别到医疗诊断再到视频标记的不同知识领域和实践，以及艺术引领的可视化如何改变统计图像的惯例和技术。视觉文化的通俗、科学和审美维度与数据分析技术的重叠正在创造一种新的统计视觉文化。然而，目前对统计可视化在经验领域中的作用缺乏识字或理解。该项目旨在提高艺术和科学实践群体之间的视觉识字和对话，并传播统计在当今的价值和作用。

This project aims to investigate how statistical images re-shape diverse knowledge domains and practices from facial recognition to medical diagnosis to video-tagging, and how arts-led visualisation changes statistical image conventions and techniques. The overlap of popular, scientific and aesthetic dimensions of visual culture with data analytical techniques is creating a new kind of statistical visual culture. However, there is scant literacy or understanding of statistical visualisation's role in empirical domains today. This project aims to improve visual literacies and dialogue across communities of practice in art and science, and to communicate the value and role of statistics today.
