Information Design Hackathon

Information Design Hackathon DOM-E0003

Department of Media, Aalto ARTS.

Using open data from Helsinki's HelDev we want to produce a range of visualizations on GoogleEarth. We will touch:
                             - design with data (analysis, contents, relations)
                             - design with code (structures, functions, processes)
                             - design with representations (layouts, objects, interactions)

We expect a good mix of expertises such as concept developing, scenario building, visualizing, 3-D modeling (SketchUp), coding (KML, PHP, HTML, CSS), writing, team working...

If motivation and enthusiasm is strong - none of these is required ;-)
