Fireflies: Expressive Infovis Inspired by Biomimicry
Abstract
We present Fireflies, an exploration of bio-inspired visualization using animal swarming behaviours and plant phyllotaxis. We ap-plied Fireflies to a Canadian attitudinal survey on HIV/AIDS. In-formation about the survey participants is encoded within different visual elements of fireflies; most importantly, the motion of the fireflies depicts comfort levels concerning HIV/AIDS. The bio-inspired visual properties of Fireflies meld into an expressive repre-sentation of a sensitive dataset.
Fireflies was also included in a group art show, "Murmuration," at the Herringer Kiss Gallery (September 8–24, 2016).
