Another F***ing Chart on Instagram: "Radiohead | In Rainbows | Note by Note on the basis of MIDI files. With MIDI files we can follow a song note by note. Beautiful data patterns come out by visualising the sound generated by several musicians.

Does anyone know about #infovis research being done on the perception of #arrows in maps and visualizations? Like, are arrows representing quantities being interpreted by length or area? What is the influence of different arrow shapes? What role does the arrow angle play? Does the Muller-Lyer illusion have an effect on arrow interpretation? Would be thankful for any hints to infovis literature 🙏 thx
