Art and Chartjunk: a Guide for NEUVis

In the fast changing, hybrid and multi-disciplinary practices of artful information visualisation (artful infoVis) and artists using data to inform artworks, the act of translating data into an image can be fraught with peril. There is considerable debate around modes of visualization and their relationship with the underlying data. This paper outlines the debate between the opposing ideologies and, through assessment of design considerations and comparison of creative practice and visual analytics, formulates a set of guidelines for creative practitioners developing visualisations for Non-Expert Users (NEUVis).
