Abstract
Every visualization (inevitably) speaks about something more than data; designing it is then (also) a matter of language, translation, and rhetorical devices. Playing with metaphors and embracing different media (visualization, sonification, physicalization …) can help both experts with analytical tasks and non-expert audiences in engaging with data. Public engagement especially may benefit from a deep dive into specific forms of literature as poetry, to provoke an emotional response and re-connect the user/reader with the phenomenon behind the data.
