In her TEDNYC Design Lab talk in March 2017, information designer Giorgia Lupi discussed how we make sense of the data in our everyday life.
And that sometimes to make sense of data, we have to forget about it. And see through it.
Data is just a tool we use to represent reality.
Lupi reminds us there are human stories behind the data numbers—stories we shouldn’t ignore as we work with data.
Connect Stories with Data
The stories behind the data transform the abstract into something we can feel, see, and connect to our lives.
We need to work in ways to connect data with the stories they represent, in the ways we collect, process, and analyze it.
Watch this eleven-minute video to learn how Lupi suggests we add context to better represent reality in the data we work with.
