Techniques
of Illustrating Missing Data
|
|
| Our
purpose was to find examples of incomplete images/things, and invent multiple
ways of illustrating their missing pieces. In creating our website (refer
to link to the right) we asked the questions: How do you show data that
is missing? What are possible methods for showing multiple reconstructions?
How do you show how confident you are about parts of the reconstruction?
From these questions, three categories were created on the website: Missing;
Alternatives; Confidence. These are the title headings that organize our
examples into classifications. There was no restriction to the types of
images we could use as long as they contained missing data, so we used examples
of incomplete buildings, artifacts, statues, drawings, pictures, mathematical
formulas, and so on. By using photoshop and dreamweaver, we were able to
“fill in” our interpretations of the incomplete areas using
the particular techniques that we invented. For example, one technique is
the use of a different color to indicate the reconstructed/interpreted area.
These examples and techniques are much more clear to understand visually
when one visits our website, listed to the right. |
