The scent of information

I just came back from the great work­shop “The Scent of Infor­ma­tion” orga­nized by the visu­al­iza­tion gang from LBI Linz. (pro­gram + live-blog) Here are the slides from my talk. Basi­cally, I was pre­sent­ing Andrew vande Moere’s and Andrea Lau’s tri­an­gle model of infor­ma­tion aes­thet­ics, and showed mostly well-formed.eigenfactor and briefly some of my the­sis work.

    Thanks for the slides. The link to Moere and Lau tri­an­gle seems to be bro­ken though.

    Dear Moritz (in the end we have the same name!)

    I’m head of Mar­ket­ing & Con­sumer Research at Givau­dan (per­fume house).

    I am work­ing on top­ics sim­i­lar to yours somehow.

    I would like to see if we could con­nect… By the way…why this was called the “scent of infor­ma­tion” if I may?

    Please reply to my email above

    Thanks for your inter­est! The work­shop was called “The Scent of Infor­ma­tion”. The notion goes back to infor­ma­tion for­ag­ing the­ory, devel­oped at Xerox Parc and com­par­ing infor­ma­tion search to ani­mals’ hunt­ing and food search behavior.
