Visualizar program is a research and education platform devoted
to exploring the culture of Big Data and its impact today in
science, society and the arts.<br>
<br>
Since its first edition in 2007 the program has gathered more
than one hundred participants from all over the world who have
developed projects explaining stories about phenomena like
pollution levels and traffic flows within big cities, the use of
social networks in political campaigns or the financing of
cultural institutions.<br>
<br>
Each Visualizar edition includes an intensive project
development workshop, a conference, educational activities open
to the public and the exhibition of the developed projects. </font></p>
