I have been so busy at the Emetrics Summit - where I’ve been blogging - (just got back last night).

There’s a lot of shows going on this week, even tonight.  If I can, I’ll try to make the ACA Galleries tonight; have a friend to meet - maybe I’ll take them along.

There’s also a lot going on in Brooklyn this weekend -as I covered in my last few posts.  You’ll see a lot more of my posts over the weekend.

One thing that really sank in to me this week at the EMetrics Summit in DC - a lot of people read WebMetricsGuru.com - but the person who comes up with the ideas - the vision - to “see” is the Artist - the Art.  It’s the Art that makes Metrics real and actionable - it’s not just the left brain - its the right brain too.

Many of the C level executives I spoke with this week wanted high level metrics - but they also realized that it takes an Artist to present the numbers and precentages as a synthesis - to bring it all together.  I’m not talking about layout design and powerpoint slides ….. I’m talking about the power of synthesis - to take all the stuff that is experienced and make it something someone wants to look at ….and understand.

Is it so different than say…..Cezanne … taking the landscape and unifying it with his pictorial language - and then you look at Mount Saint Victroire and say….I got it.   All the numbers, photos, graphic files, podcasts …everything - that’s collecting data ……but making someone understand … that’s ART.
