[iDC] Theories of Information Visualization

[davin heckman]

Hi Lilly,

You might look at some of the stuff on TacticalTech.org, in
particularly the nifty handbook they've created:
http://www.tacticaltech.org/infodesign

I'd also take a look at Rita Raley's book on Tactical Media (I imagine
you've already picked her brain).  But if you haven't read her book...
 it is a fine accomplishment and well worth the time.

Again, if you haven't already, take a look at some of the stuff on Lev
Manovich's page: http://www.manovich.net/culturevis_resources.html

You also do well to look at some of the work that Jeremy Douglass is
doing (in this case, with Manovich):
