Data are not facts but arguments, so data visualizations are representations of arguments. The effort of information designers is to make a synthesis of a particular vision of the world.Taking this position to its ultimate (il)logical end, author Carlo Bramanti investigates the shady relationship between information design and conspiracy theories. The conspiratorial, Bramanti argues, haunts design in its paradigms. With a vital urgency to see and share the bigger picture, this book probes the conspiratorial reality of design and investigates how communities try to give meaningful narratives to information to overcome the vertigo of complexity.
