The Evidence Visualization Conference Is Over

The conference on graphic and visual representations of evidence and inference in legal settings is over -- and a good time was had by all (or almost all).

Susanne Hoogwater celebrated the conference with a graphic impression of the conference theme and topics. (But one attendee complained that storytelling and causality had been left out of the image.)

Watch for the papers and comments at the conference web site and, in the long run, at Law, Probability and Risk

P.S. One attendee wrote, "Applying technology to problems in philosophy, law, critical thinking, education, etc. etc. could do for those disciplines what Excel has done for accounting." I didn't say that. But do you suppose it might be true?

A little photo essay:

A week ago or so a prominent person or so said that Chinese cities now wildly outmatch New York City for vibrancy.

Perhaps it is so. In 2004 I visited a backwater, Chengdu, which has a population of 8,000,000 (I was told).

The photo essay is intreresting. Unless I am traveling by ferry, I almost never look at the sky in NYCity; I look instead in the windo of my favoriate cafe or bookstore.

But an occasional visit to Lincoln Center or MoMA reminds me of the scale of NYCity.

... but pp's video essay perhaps evokes the jaggedness of the city more than its vibrancy ...
