You then adapt that network to process structure in data visualizations and other artificial displays of information, leading to forms of visual thinking that are at times powerful, but often severely limited. I'll propose a model of how this adaption allows us to visually compute statistics on depictions of raw data, process relative magnitudes in a bar graph, and link features by similarity in a color heatmap.\nLive Stream:\nTo join the Meeting: bluejeans.com/766896615To join via Browser: bluejeans.com/766896615/browser\n\nPiP URL: https://planitpurple.northwestern.edu/event/502528 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR ORGANIZER:Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO)
