I stumbled across something interesting recently and wanted to get your thoughts. There was this project a while back where digital artists teamed up with statisticians to visualize complex crime data in a way that was both accurate and visually compelling. Instead of just dry charts, they created interactive maps and animations that helped police departments identify patterns more intuitively.
Has anyone else seen examples where art and stats merged in a cool way? I’m curious how often these collaborations happen and what makes them work. As someone who dabbles in digital art but also deals with numbers daily, I’d love to hear about other projects like this especially ones that had real-world impact. Any favorites worth checking out?
