Design Futures Lecture

Visual Urban Data: A Journey Through Oakland Crimespotting

Thursday, March 20, 2008
5:00 pm to 6:30 pm
Mike Migurski & Tom Carden, Stamen Design
A talk about the political, social and technical hiccups encountered since the inception of Stamen Design's Oakland Crimespotting project just over a year ago. The talk will cover the inspirations and influences of the project, and how it relates to Stamen's recent work in web-based information visualization and mapping.
Since 2001, Stamen has developed a reputation for beautiful and technologically sophisticated projects in a diverse range of commercial and cultural settings. They work and play with a surprising and growing range of collaborators: news media, financial institutions, artists and architects, car manufacturers, design agencies, museums, technology firms, political action committees, and universities.
