The Role of a Data Artist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Data artists (or data visualizers) are basically Data Scientists who are also experts in the graphic and textual processing of large and complex data streams<\/strong>. They analyse data sources<\/strong> and after drawing their conclusions from them, prepare them for internal or external corporate communication and management<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They gain insights from data<\/strong> and then use that data to help a company meet its goals. This is a professional who can take output from data streams<\/strong>, analyze them <\/strong>and then turn them into theories<\/strong> that can effectively be used by companies to make better decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasks and Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Data Artists are less concerned with the acquisition of data and more about its visual preparation.
