Through the GEOB 270, I learned the significance of visualization of data. In this case, creating maps that have meaning. It really fascinates me because it allows us to communicate important information with so many more people; knowledge that university and research institution discover often do not permeates to the general public as well as to politicians, especially in the case of climate change issues. This is because it needs an explanation, so the ability to read and critically think is required. On the other hand, for GIS, we give title and legend, then readers can analyze on their own to have their own discoveries. This is a fantastic learning method as well as creating greater awareness because map representation does not speak but it shows; it does not come with metanarratives when describing an issue which often is present among any social justice theory in the text. Therefore, readers can provoke their ideas from a relatively objective point of view. However, with one condition, GIS and map representation needs to be as authentic as possible; creating the as authentic map as possible is almost work of art because at first place there is no way to put it the same as reality, just as a painter cannot draw actual complexity of nature into his squared paper. But some paintings delineates their message so profoundly that it provokes us the truth or virtue that are embedded to us, that is why it touches us. Just in the same way, a map that was made with creativity and authenticity can change millions of minds. I want to take more courses on data visualization to learn more about it. I call it techno-art, there is space for creativity and also it is turning important information or messages into digestible formats that communicate many more people than ever been possible.
