Welcome to Data Art
This project is about BBC data and how it can be visualised in a creative and informative way. In blurring the boundary between art and information DataArt aims to reach both experts and non-experts alike to grow interest in a media area of increasing public importance. Before proceeding we recommend you read the About section, which gives an overview of who the project is for, its aims and more detail on what we’ll be offering.
