A class I took recently spent time discussing the intersection of art and data.  While the focus of the class was to promote a greater harmony betweeen the display and presentation data, it led to a discussion about integrity in data and the responsibility of providing unbiased data.  The discussion places that responsibility for integrity in data and data presenttion squarely on the author.  David McCandless makes some interesting points about the presentation of data and his analysis through graphics is really amazing.
