Rich and Josie were talking about homelessness and war (“Why do people camp in the park? Why don’t they have places to sleep and brush their teeth?) and then turned on the recorder and talked some more. Sorry for the sucky sound (laptop fan noise)
First episode. We’ll do better next time.

Taken from Edward Tufte’s Envisioning Information, along with this quote:
Visual activation of negative areas of white space in these exhibits illustrates the endlessly contextual and interactive nature of visual elements. This idea is captured in a fundamental principle of information design: 1 + 1 = 3 or more. In the simplest case, when we draw two black lines, a third visual activity results, a bright white path between the lines … Most of the time, that surplus visual activity is non-information, noise, and clutter.
