In today’s world full of information, there’s one field that stands out in its ability to unlock hidden secrets in huge amounts of raw data—data science. It has become the backbone of many industries, changing the way we see and interact with the world. Thanks to data science, we can make smart decisions, solve difficult problems, and discover patterns that were previously invisible to us. But what makes this field truly fascinating is data visualization. It beautifully merges analytics with aesthetics, helping us understand complex information better.

Data visualization is the art of transforming numbers, statistics, and abstract or difficult concepts into gripping representations. From captivating charts and graphs to interactive maps and cool infographics, data visualizations are the storytellers of the digital age. Every color, design, and arrangement in these images can grab our attention and teach us something. It’s a whole new way to show and tell!

The subreddit “Data Art” has become really popular over the years. When r/DataArt reached 10,000 subscribers, the moderator u/jmerlinb decided to personally send out a DataVizDigest email summarizing the top posts of that season every 3 months. “Because data should not only be informative, but also beautiful.” If you’re interested, you can sign up for their mailing list. Also, make sure to check out the most upvoted posts on the “ArtyCharty” Twitter page!

According to the moderators of “Data Art”, the subreddit is about quality over quantity. “Our content is concerned; as such, we have a hard anti-spam policy and will not hesitate to remove content deemed to be spam.”

The subreddit allows sharing data visualizations or information designs only, so posts made in Excel are not welcome. However, the moderators noted that there is a history of data visualization practitioners pushing Excel to its breaking point and, in the process, creating amazing and well-designed visualizations. “These types of posts are more than welcome. We just want to avoid bog-standard, pre-set colored charts and graphs (and the dreaded scourge of Excel’s 3D pie charts).”
