The Possibility of Complex Media Through Data Visualization And Individual Interview

Abstract

In general, data visualized using computer programs etc. facilitates objective analysis of users, but it is inevitable that details of individual experiences of people and emotional changes are difficult to observe. On the other hand, there are attempts to complement each other and derive "understanding and empathy" by combining data visualization and individual interview in art and documentary. In this paper, I will introduce art projects called "Some Questions about Nuclear" and "Tokyo Air Raid Oral History Map" that I have been involved in, and discuss the possibility of complex media by data visualization and individual interview.
