I don\u2019t normally go out of my way to see an exhibit but this was an event I did not want to miss. SAIC faculty came together with engineering and data\/computer scientists in order to design a course that was the true marriage of art and science: a course on data visualization.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saic.edu\/academics\/areasofstudy\/artandscience\/datavizcollaborative\/\" target=\"_blank\">Data Viz Collaborative<\/a>, was nothing short of incredible. I enjoyed seeing interesting data visualizations for websites such as Wikipedia. There were also other exhibits that took a novel approach to visualization, including some interactive pieces. I do wish that I could have attended the 2015 exhibit but my work has kept me relatively busy this year.<\/p>\n<p>The course is a novel concept that I would love to be able to be a part of sometime in the near future, especially with my knowledge and interest in information visualization and the fine arts.
