Data art have been compiling data used be the bbc to create interesting ways of displaying data, I really like the fact that some of these ways of presenting data, make it no longer appear like a chart or a graph, but something visually inspiring.
Using different colours, opacities and patterns could be a way of translating data in a hidden way, different colours etc meaning different things, but only the creator knows what those things represent.
