Interview with Irene de la Torre Arenas Join us while Irene and I talk about how animations and movements can create a lot of advantages such as the following: Portray data directly through motion (what Irene defines as ‘data as motion’). This is an example of it.Interpolate through data values (‘motion as an interpolation of data values’). Gapminder, or the visualizations showing how PASI changes through time under different psoriasis treatments (see paper here).Guide viewers through the visualization (‘motion as a storytelling device’).
