Data Visualization - Thoughts

When I thought of Data Visualization, I had some simple graphs in mind.
I know that data is constantly being compiled into varied representations, but didn't think of it as a terribly innovative area.

After looking around at some examples, I think I've changed my mind.
The work can be very creative, with subtle details in the visual representation having a meaning that coincides with the data itself.

For instance, I was inspired by this Visualization in particular;



It's a Graph involving data about nature. What I love is the surreal plant-like vibe it gives off, the lines themselves feel organic and add to the data itself.

Even stranger is that some of these Visualizations are more like art than data!

Here's the link where I found this image, as well as other great examples;
