With technology today, people are constantly bombarded with copious amounts of information. In order for people to easily absorb this information, it needs to be presented in a way that is simple, engaging, and visually appealing. Data visualization is becoming more important, as attention spans are decreasing but the need to consume information is ever increasing. So, how can I use numbers and statistics as a medium for art? For this project, I am going to extract information about veterans and military personnel in the United States and present that data in the form of physically printed out, graphically designed compositions that have an augmented reality component.
