A visualização de dados na teoria da comunicação

Abstract

This paper analyzes the use of computational methods and resources as a tool for the researcher in the area of communication , particularly in research projects dealing with problems that can be modeled computationally through cultural algorithms . We emphasize that it is not proposed substitution or reduction of human involvement in the analysis of subjective content , patterns and meanings in favor of a more automated and quantitative analysis . In the structure of this work contemplate four chapters that organize theoretical , historical, practical experience and results obtained with the construction of a visualization of a large collection of data. In the first chapter , Scan and language of New Media , we describe the process of scanning both the means of production and of cultural artifacts linked to communication . Here is the proposed Manovich on the emergence of new media based on the characteristics of the software and its digital aspects , as a result of the scanning process. In the second chapter , What is visualization ? We present a conceptual framework that defines what is visualization , its origins and with other nearby areas such as scientific visualization and theoretical aspects , mathematical and computational basing this line of application of computational methods for cultural analysis . The third chapter , Application of Concepts View : . DataVis VIEW , describes the process of collecting the data collection , organization , construction of the algorithm , implementation and results presented in the visualization of data in a hyperwall detail . The fourth and final chapter, analysis of impacts on the perception of DataVis Collection SEE data, analyzes how the process and the result of applying the methodology proposed by Manovich change the initial perception of the data collection , emphasizing the visual aspects of the full context of dataset.
