Design techniques for static information are well understood, their descriptions
and discourse thorough and well-evolved. But these techniques fail when
dynamic information is considered. There is a space of highly complex systems
for which we lack deep understanding because few techniques exist for visualization
of data whose structure and content are continually changing. To
approach these problems, this thesis introduces a visualization process titled
Organic Information Design. The resulting systems employ simulated organic
properties in an interactive, visually refined environment to glean qualitative
facts from large bodies of quantitative data generated by dynamic information
sources.
