Abstract
Is the cover art for Joy Division’s 1979 a lbum Unknown Pleasures (Figure 1) the most famous data visualization in popular culture? I suspect so. The image, based on a plot from an astronomy dissertation (Craft 1970), displays radio intensities from the first known pulsar. As designed by Peter Saville, though, all we see is an unlabeled, mysterious landscape. Forty years later the artwork remains both a sublime representation of the band’s sound and an icon of commercial art.
Joy Division 1979年的封面艺术是流行文化中最著名的数据可视化吗？我怀疑是这样。这张图片是根据天文学论文（Craft 1970）中的一张图绘制的，显示了第一颗已知脉冲星的无线电强度。然而，正如彼得·萨维尔所设计的那样，我们所看到的只是一个未标记的神秘景观。四十年后，这件艺术品仍然是乐队声音的崇高代表，也是商业艺术的象征。
