Assignment 03: Reflection

This week during the class we focused on data visualization. I have been interested in data visualization for a long time. I can spend my whole weekend reading articles about data visualization and information design on Medium. But to be honest, I've always been an onlooker, and I don't have any hands-on experience. So this week's practice is a good chance for me to take the first step and get hands dirty.

• My first touch to CSVs.

• Realize that self-tracking is a way to discover oneself, not for others, but for the person himself. It helps us sense our bodies or the world around us.

As the start of my way of learning quantified humanists, I reviewed many existing quantified self projects. In this blog, I highlight some of them and analyze their broader significance, and why they caught my interest.
