Here's a project for your next data journalism hackathon: Recreating Jacques Bertin’s reorderable physical table. Jacques Bertin was a cartographer and data analyst who did groundbreaking work on visualisation as a tool for understanding your data. Among other things, he created a physical, reordable table for grouping data. Like Excel, but made out of wood. The project is a couple of years old, but we discovered it just now, made us start thinking about different ways to explore data physically:
