“LEADING EDGE” of advanced technologies and applications, this article in 1983
was a “highlight”: especially as we know
had the computing power and visualistion capabiulities to tackle cross-scale
and cross-issues subjects:

presenting a thinkspace as a “blackbox”
as a “pointer to possibilities” and as a “white-box”

I wonder why so little progress made

Postscript August 2012:
I was recently quite disturbed. Some young
activist at a very reknown foundation presented what
they considered to be: INFOGRAFIK or INFOGRAPHICS. I spoke later from the
floor… Some might not have gotten the essence of the typical invited
contributions by the audience, having to cover in my case in 2 minutes of what
I referred to of maybe 25+ years “inforgraphics” and summing up what
presdenters where not getting at in hours….
I checked WIKIPEDIA in English and German and
was lost. Did the lineage in WIKIPEDIA really presented what was going on in
the 7oies and 80ies !?
really present what was intended and meant by INFOGRAPHICs ?
It somehow ends with an enlighted statistician,
sculputer, visualizer, who worked on quantitative data in 1983 Edward R. Tufte (1983).
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.
Edition,
Let us remember for a moment that Kim H. Veltman wrote the introduction to
ENVISIONING GRAPHICS of Tufte ! Kim at that time with the
McLuhan in the Coachhouse in
And see also Michael GIESECKE etc…. MYTHS &
VISIONEN BOOK CULTURE and INFORMATION SOCIETY … http://mythen-der-buchkultur.de/Quellen.htm
As you can see, I got tired of all these
word-walls, so working on “INFOGRAPHICS – INFOGRAPHIQUE – INFOGRAFIK” ends up
in different silos, with intrnasparent mindsets and contextrs, all these
searchers and scholars follow their “clan” or “disciplined isolation!” between
the sectors, turfs, and fields, jargons, or “disciplines”…. So after a second
which changed my life on August 28, 1987, I left the subject area of
“Infographique” even when revisiting info-management in UN Harmonization
projects…. to look into the scales, subjects, scales, languages,… involved. Maybe check “clanthink and groupthink” check: http://quergeist.net/Warfield/THINKS.htm

Compassion?”
