Talk:
Data to design with
with Giorgia Lupi
An award-winning information designer, Giorgia challenges the impersonality of data, designing visual narratives that re-connect numbers to what they stand for: stories, people, ideas.
Through her professional and artistic practice over the years, she’s learned that data not only can describe the objective world, but it can especially grasp and illustrate aspects of our life that we hardly associate with numbers.
In fact, data is not only a collection of facts, such as numbers, words, measurements or observations, but - most interestingly - a powerful lens we can use to filter every situation or analyze our reality according to specific aspects every time.
