The document discusses making invisible data visible through visualizations. It notes that visualizations reveal patterns in data from fields like climate science, politics, and economics. The document then discusses a specific information graphic the group created to visualize moods of people in the Eastern Suburbs from Monday to Friday and how that time of day impacted their moods based on a 1 to 10 scale. The group questions whether they are creating the visualization of moods or simply making existing mood patterns visible.
