EXPLORATORY DATA VISUALIZATION

The most useful exploratory visualization. We want to see dashboards and other visualizations that let people generate and test their hypotheses about what motivates and affects the field.

EXPLANATORY DATA VISUALIZATION

The most engrossing explanatory visualization. We want to see the trends in the data and how they weave together to tell us what’s happening in the data viz community.
