Design Futures Lecture
Visual Urban Data: A Journey Through Oakland Crimespotting
Thursday, March 20, 2008
5:00 pm
- 6:30 pm
Mike Migurski & Tom Carden, Stamen Design
A talk about the political, social and technical hiccups
encountered since the inception of Stamen Design's Oakland
Crimespotting project just over a year ago. The talk will cover the
inspirations and influences of the project, and how it relates to
Stamen's recent work in web-based information visualization and mapping.
Since 2001, Stamen has developed a reputation for beautiful and
technologically sophisticated projects in a diverse range of
commercial and cultural settings. They work and play with a
surprising and growing range of collaborators: news media, financial
institutions, artists and architects, car manufacturers, design
agencies, museums, technology firms, political action committees, and
universities.
