Kineviz, a San Francisco-based company, uses artistic cues to surface complex information in high-dimensional datasets, aiming to make data visualization more intuitive and user-friendly. They specialize in visualizing and presenting complex data, often integrating their product with Neo4j to leverage its graph database capabilities. According to Weidong Yang, CEO of Kineviz, working with data is an art rather than an engineering skill, requiring intuition and artistic understanding. The company's integration with Neo4j has made it easier for them to focus on visualization and interactivity while leaving hard data problems to the graph database. Graph technology is promising but still in its early phase, and there's a need for research to make graphs more accessible and useful in various applications.
