Ross Spiral Curriculum by Santiago Ortiz represents the evolution of human consciousness through the integration between domains, mainly cultural history, to create a dynamic choreography of learning. The goal is to allow students to understand the past as a dynamical system, better understand the present and envisioning the future.
Visually it is a colorful spiral that has different points on it. But when you zoomed in, there are connections between the data. Then you can compare each grade’s data by clicking the menu on the right. I think it is a very interesting way to display data. Visually it is very attractive can be an art piece that someone can hang on their wall, just like an abstract piece of modern art. One criticism will be: the project is a bit hard to understand, and there is not a lot of correlation between the data and the visual representation.
