Abstract
They say a picture paints a thousand words but is it also true that a picture paints a thousand numbers? The British Library’s latest exhibition Beautiful Science: Picturing Data, Inspiring Insight considers the role of diagrams and data display in the development of scientific theory over the ages. It has impressive works from the archive, mixed with modern artwork and video sound bites from Professor Dame Sally Davies all underlying the importance of data illustration in our understanding of the world. It is divided into three areas: climate, evolution, and public health and opens with a computer animation showing the flow of the ocean currents crunched from thousands of NASA satellite readings.
