How we can find ourselves in data | Giorgia Lupi | TED Talk

In the TED Talk “How we can find ourselves in data,” data visualization designer Giorgia Lupi tells us that data is just a tool we use to represent reality, and sometimes we need to see through the data to truly understand what it represents. Lupi shares some examples of how her data visualization design company uses data to foster communication and create connections between people and experiences, such as creating a web application to connect people on Earth with an astronaut in space. She emphasizes that working with big data means designing ways to transform it into something that can be seen and felt, and directly related to our lives and behaviors. By doing this, we can better connect with the stories that the data represents.
