There is a middle ground that must be respected when it comes to representing data and accuracy. If your map gets too abstract, readers will have a hard time interpreting your data, but if it is abstract/distorted it has the chance at becoming less informative and more figurative, allowing for the aesthetic to be enjoyed as art and not data.
It is my impression that data can be enjoyed in the form of Art as a basis for an exploration into what it can reveal without intent. Just like the current exhibit in the Miller Gallery, Designing the Computational Image/Imagining Computational Design.
