PUBLICATIONS
FREE LEONARDO ARTICLE: VISUAL COMMUNICATION IN TIMES OF CRISIS: THE
FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR ACCIDENT, BY RAMA C. HOETZLEIN
Abstract: This paper follows the development of visual communication
through information visualization in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear
accident in Japan. While information aesthetics are often applied to
large data sets retrospectively, the author developed new works
concurrently with an ongoing crisis to examine the impact and social
aspects of visual communication while events continued to unfold. The
resulting work, Fukushima Nuclear Accident---Radiation Comparison Map,
is a reflection of rapidly acquired data, collaborative on-line
analysis and reflective criticism of contemporary news media, resolved
into a coherent picture through the participation of an on-line
community. This article was originally published in Leonardo 45:2,
2012. Read the full paper
