Just a quick comment on the word 'angle' (that you mention when you tell us about the Kirk method). I think 'angle' could maybe be expanded a bit - show a data exhibit and invite a bunch of people from different backgrounds/disciplines to highlight the thing about the data exhibit that's most interesting or salient to them. I work with hospital data, so I guess I could show the patient's angle, the community nurse's angle, the doctor's angle, the bed manager's angle, and so on. As an example of how this might be done, how about this 10-min video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2BYf2SKRsI) that the National Gallery made about Titian's paining Bacchus and Ariadne, where they got about six or seven experts from different fields (art history, classical languages, fashion, relationships etc.) to highlight the things that they notice from their particular angle...?
