The Transfer of Knowledge through Art and Visualization

This book offers strategies for the transfer of knowledge through combining information technology and visual arts, and examining how to visually enhance and convey knowledge. Specifically, it presents a fresh look at how technology-based, science-inspired projects can be innovatively delivery through artistic methods. It explores a selection of inventions gained through the collaboration of internationalist professionals in various fields of knowledge, before outlining a new approach in how knowledge can be delivered using the inventions in a novel, visual way through action-based visual storytelling, video, graphical display, and visualization. Crucially, it looks at how current media and techniques used for presenting topics in industries, corporations, commerce and marketing companies could be successfully translated and developed as a presentation skill in the school, college, or university environment. It thus seeks to address the skills that prospective employers expect from students, in terms of possessing the ability to create visual presentations of data, solutions, and products. With a sharp focus on the current generation schools, academies, business and marketing companies, and catering to the modern demand for novelty in presentation, it makes a strong contribution to the conversation around professional collaboration, visual communication, knowledge transfer, novel technologies, and knowledge visualization.
