Dilbert does Tufte
Speaking of PowerPoint, here's an interesting link from Shane at co][nz: it's David Byrne and his "Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information." Talking Heads fans may appreciate the publisher's description, part of which includes: [This] is a book of images and essays, plus a DVD which plays 5 of his PowerPoint presentations accompanied by original music. ... And you may ask yourself, what is the meaning of this? And you may ask yourself, what is this about? It is about taking subjective, even emotional, information and presenting it in a familiar audiovisual form--using a medium in a way that is different, and possibly better, than what was intended.

One day at work I sat through a typical Powerpoint presentation during which the presenter showed slide after slide and read each one word for word. *Yawn* The latest issue of wired has a point/counterpoint between Byrne and Tufte. -- Posted by Daniel Harvey on August 15, 2003 11:53 AM
