Abstract

This case-control study investigates the effectiveness of different data visualization methods in communicating environmental data to environmental justice communities. Two methods were compared: a static booklet and an interactive art installation paired with a booklet. Results show that environmental art effectively communicates complex scientific data, influencing emotion and memory, and increasing the likelihood of behavioral change and environmental action.
