How we can find ourselves in data | Giorgia Lupi

Giorgia Lupi uses data to tell human stories, adding nuance to numbers. In this charming talk, she shares how we can bring personality to data, visualizing even the mundane details of our daily lives and transforming the abstract and uncountable into something that can be seen, felt and directly reconnected to our lives.

While it wasn't exactly her main point, I was struck by the ways she presented so much of her information. It was a treat to go beyond pie charts and lines, to think beyond X and Y axis. The nuances of checking the time that she brought out certainly gave that a human touch.

[@9869priya]

in a world where there are millions of data floating all across the internet it is really important that we start channelizing them in a way which can help humanity.. I second her completely..

"Data Humanism", as unity of two poles of the human essence, Hegel would say.

[@mnaftw]

I love data too little iltalian lady! I also love your job

[@alexbaker7791]

WE LOOKED AT THE DATA!

[@richardadamwais9734]

well done thanks how do we keep our personal data from djibouti

[@Mia-qn1pr]

"People are not interested in data for the sake of it, because numbers are never the point. They're always the means to an end." I hope to always remember this

[@Mia-qn1pr]

"So data powered the experience, but stories of human beings were the drive."

[@urfavoritehumanbean879]

TED back on track with actual female scientists and Elon Musk talks

[@troycambo]

welcome to Ted comments

[@francescottantanove]

Data the beginning of conversation and not the end...

[@FlyWR]

except she is so "obsessed with data" that she can't make a point past that. Or am I missing something? I am thinking now maybe this video is thin trolling, so after watching it people stop relying on anecdotal evidences and start actually reading data?

[@PimpNpony]

She looks like ellen!

[@AgentArcadia]

iDubbbz looking a little strange

[@Mceggie]

Kodama You don't even know if it a womyn or a mun please don't assume genders or pronouns. I myself identify as a half asian black man. My pronoun is beast.

[@BlackStarrSoul]

***** It's "its," not "it's," and I'm assuming because men tend to be weak.

Kodama You racist bigot!

[@1Maxpan]

How nice! - "In the Renaissance humanism, European intellectuals placed the human nature instead of God at the center of their view of the world. I believe something similar needs to happen with the universe of data." - It is just what the first man with his wife did in the beginning...reap the fruits

[@giovannibenvegnu5185]

Già ti ammiravo, se ora mi dici che sei pure di sinistra... ❤❤❤

[@chriswanderer90]

Nice 90s fashion.

[@EllisD1249]

I simply don't agree, become a better you...but for who? definitely not for yourself but for others, how you get represented by others, to improve yourself for them. Surely you should understand why you're like that form a better understand of yourself and drive to that instead.

[@brendarua01]

+Ellis I think you kinda missed the point.

[@duckdumbsmartpplimnotbored5175]

Yeah, its about the data wtf...

[@aaronespinoza5598]

good premise, but too long

[@rina.116]

[@masterbaiter5533]

wtf

[@LeonidasGGG]

So, what Berlusconi did to Italy, Trump is gonna do to America?...

[@FlyWR]

Btw, I didn't get that part of video between Berlusconi and Trump. It sounded like no link to me and Berlusconi mentioned just for sake of majestic aura*. Are you sure this was the point? * it's pun

[@Cloverfield187]

Didn’t watch only commenting. This chick looks like she voted for Biden and was glad about her decision

[@erikavillagomez4880]

Booooo

[@helpmeget2millionsubscribe446]

bruhh

[@matedorgo371]

she is creepy

[@FlyWR]

for me this was vague humanitarian nonsense. No logic, no reason, no point.

[@FlyWR]

and your answer still has no point to me. What is "damage to society"? IMO it's something which disrupts native social functions and culture. For example propaganda, mind control and other war technology. But this is exactly what she is about: "let's feel more instead of analyzing". So people become mindless flimsy mass with no knowledge but with opinions. "Designers of internet traffic systems for example need to think of ways around damage to society"? Really? Built-in censorship is good somehow now?! I see no good in strong unsubstantiated opinions based on anecdotal evidences of yellow press. Humans are bad at statistics and long term predictions. Logic is good. Obsessions are bad. Let's not get more of that.

[@FlyWR]

alright, this makes sense now :) Thanks. I can't agree though.

[@goletest]

She should change her spectacles.

[@Barbaraska]

Jithesh SU why? They're awesome

[@goletest]

A small square one would look her better. She already has a funny look.

[@danzoil]

A WOMAN? Really TED?! I'm getting sick of this leftist SJW feminist crap!

[@Th3CoLoSSuS]

what is wrong with "a woman"?

[@Matthias-wm8zi]

what is wrong with irony?

[@somebodybodysome4368]

what is SJW?

[@Th3CoLoSSuS]

k

[@danzoil]

They're trying to make me feel bad for being a white male. Trump should ban this rubbish!

[@Rog5446]

Fraud would have had a field day with this one. OCD at it's best (or worst depending on your point of view) This is the sort of behaviour that train spotters can only dream of. Sad Sad Sad!

[@thesofakillers]

Ma come cazzo s'è vestita??

[@francescottantanove]
