Abstract
Right now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, there are a great number of artists working on, what could be called, projects of information visualization.“Information visualization,” as a named area of research and development, was originally an outgrowth of the pragmatics of contemporary science and engineering. Faced with huge volumes of data, scientists and engineers write computer programs to render data as images, making it possible to visually search for and scrutinize patterns in the data.
