伴随着信息可视化的发展,时间已经不仅仅是一种主观的体验。在可视化的表达中,时间成为了结构化维度——它帮助我们构建稳健而直观的框架,使我们更好地建立事件间的联系。因此,时间线可以帮助我们更好地呈现数据在时间维度中的演变。从叙事角度来说,大部分的新闻叙事其实都是基于事件发生和发展的时间序列而讲述的。当讲述的时间跨度较长,或是事件众多繁杂之时,传统的新闻文本式叙述就有可能力不从心。如果将众多事件视作数据,就可以使用专门的软件制作成基于时间线的可交互的动态作品。
With the development of information visualization, time is more than just a subjective experience. In the visual expression, time becomes a structured dimension - it helps us to build a robust and intuitive framework that allows us to better establish the connections between events. Therefore, the timeline helps us to better present the evolution of data in the time dimension. From a narrative point of view, most news narratives are actually based on the time series of events and developments. When narratives span longer periods of time, or when the events are numerous and complex, traditional news textual narratives can be overwhelmed. If you think of many events as data, you can use specialized software to create interactive, timeline-based work.
