Hi everyone!\n\nWe have designer and activist Mushon Zer-Aviv on the show today. Mushon is an NYU ITP graduate and instructor at Shenkar University, Israel.\n\nmushon_bw-pic_2015He wrote the very interesting Disinformation Visualization piece for Tactical Tech's Visualizing Information for Advocacy and we decided to invite him to discuss the million different facets of disinformation through visualization.\n\nIs data and data visualization bringing some truth or should it always be considered an argument? Is there a way we can mitigate or even prevent disinformation? What strategies can designers use to make their opinions more apparent?\n\nThese are some of the questions we discuss on the show.\n\nAnd don't miss the part on "data obfuscation," that is, how to use disinformation to increase our privacy!\n\nEnjoy this thought-provoking show!\n\nThis episode is sponsored by Tableau Software, helping people connect to any kind of data, and visualize it on the fly - You can download a free trial at http://tableau.com/datastories \u2013 check the new Tableau 9!\n\nLINKS\n\nMushon Zer-Aviv - http://mushon.com\nShual Design Studio - http://shual.com\nEyebeam / ShiftSpace - http://eyebeam.org\nMushon\u2019s Article: Disinformation visualization - How To Lie With Data Visualization\nEnrico et al.\u2019s papers on vis persuasion and deception:\nHow Deceptive are Deceptive Visualizations?: An Empirical Analysis of Common Distortion Techniques.
