hey octothorp, thanks for posting.
it's interesting to see companies who are able to find business value in visualization. people like golan levin and josh on have been good at demonstrating its value as a form of artmaking (and in josh's case, a tool for social awareness and change) -- but...i feel like they are preaching to the choir. the ones who are excited about such projects are the ones who are already convinced of its power as a storytelling device.
we need to get away from the new media art/design audience, and begin to engage the corporate one. some motivation: fast company recently profiled angela shen-hsieh of visual i/o:

The Source is a dynamic piece of sculpture specially designed by artists Greyworld for the London Stock Exchange. Permanently positioned in the main atrium of our new building at Paternoster Square, The Source consists of 729 spheres, suspended on metal cables stretching the full height of the 32-metre, 7-storey atrium. Controlled electronically, each sphere moves independently, forming random shifting patterns or words, numbers and shapes fed in directly from the world's media.
