Data Visualisation. Using visual media to demonstrate or represent information.

Ultimately if visual reprenstation can help to more clearly display information, then it is a important tool for both the internet and life in general.

Let us not forget how effectively Michael Moore uses images, editing, juxtaposition and video footage (Sometimes invented) to convey his contempt for corporate america and his liberal views. Even when he’s outright lying he makes a convincing argument simply by his choice of images.  

Visualisation is fine, as long as we are still able to ask questions, such as: what is the creator’s intention or bias, and how accurate is the inofrmation by checking other sources.
