Abstract

As a technical aesthetics, information visualization design includes two main methods: scientific “experimental induction” and humanistic “conceptual speculation”. This paper reflects on the data rights, technically aesthetic limitations, and lack of spiritual value in the current information visualization design. This article suggested changing the goal of information visualization from interpretative to exploratory function and developing “given” data into “participatory” data - CAPTA. It drives information technology with design aesthetics, brings “concept speculation” into each information visualization process, and encourages the creation of a humanized knowledge generator to catalyze social dreams.
