When people I know can’t decide whether or not go to graduate school, I always encourage them to do so, because cool stuff like this happens. First I get to intern at The New York Times and now I’m headed to Madrid, Spain for two weeks to attend the Visualizar workshop. As you might have guessed, it’s a visualization workshop, and it’s headed by Benjamin Fry, Bestiario and Adrian Holovaty. I’m not sure who Bestiario and Adrian (although I will soon), but Ben is most recently known, or I guess most widely known for his work on Processing with Casey Reas.
There are ten projects, of which one I think I will be collaborating on. I’m not really sure how it’s going to work yet. Unfortunately I’m going to miss the conference part of Visualizar, because I couldn’t get to Spain soon enough on such short notice. I’m headed back to Buffalo on Monday (I’m in Los Angeles for the week) and then my flight to Spain is on Tuesday.
Sorry in Advance
Sorry in advance as my posts on FlowingData become a little sporadic during these two weeks, but I’ll be sure to write about the goings on in Spain while I’m there. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be really interesting and extremely educational.
