That Edge Node: To tell stories via data

I mentioned that about a year ago having visited an amazing data visualization show in Barcelona. It was in a modern art museum and was easily the most impressive thing I had seen in my time in museums. As a story teller, what got to me was how data could be used for more than just utilitarian purposes. At the show there were some art installations, as well as stories told. And that latter matter is what got to me. How I could possibly tell stories via these methods.


Take this, for example. That someone could take the entirety of the Star Wars world and make it something we can view (though that might only be translatable by the most hardcore of fans) is interesting. What will be interesting is if one can properly tell stories or give full on narratives in this manner. I imagine it's only a matter of time. Thoughts?
