Giorgia Lupi: Finding Humanity in Data

In her 99U talk, ‘data humanist’ and Pentagram partner Giorgia Lupi offers a look into the far-reaching applications of her work in data and design, from corporate (an AR-powered map for Starbucks retail stores) to institutional (a site-specific visualization of a MoMA exhibition) to personal (an interpretation of a child’s life with chronic illness). Giorgia encourages creatives to harness data as a design tool, while respecting human privacy and experience in their output.

That was really something, Hopefully I can find out more about how her project was starting to be used in schools, since that's what I want to encourage more of, to get younger people familiar with the new world that we're living in, and understand consent and ethical considerations so that we can collaborate and work together effectively in this new world to create a place that is actively working towards better and more efficient solutions to our global problems. We should hopefully start to see more collaboration with public-non-profit sector that will drastically effect the way we look at healthcare for instance both physically and mentally. This should also go a long way to helping us understand our impact on the environmental destruction that we're seeing quite rapidly if we don't do more soon, but as with the ban on CFCs causing the hole in the Ozone layer - reason for swift decisive action came from seeing a picture (derived from data) that summarized what was going on in an accurate and meaningful way.
