Bertin Exhibit at Vis
Organizers: Pierre Dragicevic, Charles Perin and Jean-Daniel Fekete
General Information
About this page
Vis 2014 will host an exhibit on Jacques Bertin, made possible with the support of Tableau Software. This page describes what we think we may be able to show at Bertin's exhibit. It is currently a very early draft and will be regularly updated.
General Theme
The purpose will be to show objects and documents about Jacques Bertin's legacy, with a focus on what is less known by the Vis community.
Sources
The exhibit will draw from two principal sources:
- Archives de France: describe context
- Archives Nationales: describe context
- (perhaps) Bibliothèque Nationale.
