Fans of clever cartography are in for a treat - this week Steven interviews Eric Rodenbeck and Alan McConchie of Stamen, a well known data visualization and map design company. Over the years Stamen has created so many beautiful, thought-provoking, and widely used maps. Most recently they produced the design for Facebook's new OpenStreetMap-based, global base map. The discussion is wide-ranging and covers the history of the business, the role of cartographers in the digital age, working with OpenStreetMap, mapping tools like Field Papers, their favourite projects, and much more.

Eric Rodenbeck & Alan McConchie: Stamen

48 | Vis Going Mainstream w/ Stamen's CEO Eric Rodenbeck

Information visualization is becoming more than a set of tools and technologies and techniques to understand large data sets. It is emerging as a medium in its own right, with a wide range of expressive potential.Stamen’s work in visualization and mapping is among the most high profile online today, with the live dynamic displays at Digg Labs and Cabspotting being just two of many examples. The studio’s approach is deeply pragmatic, always starting with real data and aiming to work with graphics on screen as soon as possible. Though all analysis is a work in progress, a project is usually finished when it shows something nobody has seen before, or builds a vocabulary for describing a system, or offers more questions than answers. And then the process begins again.Rodenbeck will provide an overview of the studio’s recent projects, and insight into the studio’s working process.Eric Rodenbeck is founder and creative director of Stamen Design. He is a 10-year veteran of the interactive design field, and has spent this time working to extend the boundaries of online media and live information visualization.Eric led the interactive storytelling and data-driven narrative effort at Quokka Sports, illustrated and designed at Wired and Wired Books, and was a co-founder of the design collective Umwow. He has lectured and spoken at Yale University, the University of Southern California, numerous O’Reilly technology conferences, Esther Dyson’s PC Forum, and South by Southwest, among others. Eric studied architecture at Cooper Union in New York City and received a B.A. in the History and Philosophy of Technology from The New School for Social Research.Licensed as Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).
