Graphesis -Interpreting Visualizations :: Visualizing Interpretations
Making connections - disciplinary roots & current usage of visual forms
lets us interpret the graphical encoding

knowledge generators
dynamic, open ended -provocative
parameters: of forms of visualization
graphical format
intellectual purpose/function
the type of content they express
the way they structure meaning
disciplinary origins
bar diagrams- stats
trees- genealogy
maps - exploration
flow charts - management/ electrical circuits
all Vis- same analytical approach - to expose the working of their graphical organization as meaning-producing
diagrammatic images embody assumptions about how we translate observations, sensations, perceptions of a phenomena
challenge is to develop a terminology(of graphical forms) that's grounded in the features of spatialized relations -hierarchy, juxtaposition and proximity
