In this note, we describe Spark, an informative art display that visualizes physical activity
using abstract art. We present results from five deployments, lasting two to three weeks, that
suggest that while graph visualizations are useful for information seeking, abstract
visualizations are preferred for display purposes. Our results show that informative art is an
appropriate way to visualize physical activity, and can be used in addition to graphs to
increase enjoyment and engagement with physical activity displays.
