[iDC] Theories of Information Visualization

[ricardo at ambriente.com]

Hi Lilly,
I imagine you've already found the information aesthetics blog, it's been
around for several years and has a wealth of links:

http://infosthetics.com/

And I still find Edward Tufte's books to be great resources, particularly
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information and Visual Explanations:
http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_vdqi

A few artists to check out:

http://www.aaronkoblin.com/
http://roberthodgin.com/
http://www.flong.com/
http://artport.whitney.org/commissions/thedumpster/dumpster.shtml
http://tiffanyholmes.com/
http://www.superfund365.org/
http://www.potatoland.org/

Of course the list could go on and on.
