The talk will explore the design process and motivations behind data visualization projects, characterized by different usage contexts, responding to various needs, and with differing levels of experimentation. It will focus on the visual languages used to shape information and stories and delve into how visual words in data visualizations can be alive and sometimes political.
Designing data visualizations will be likened to writing, reflecting on the usage of visual alphabets to convey information. As in writing, the choice of words is essential, this principle will be applied to the language of data visualization, exploring the process behind decisions to use organic visual languages to reflect the living presence behind the data and, in some cases, the fragility of the data itself. The talk will explore how different visual words have been used to visualize information and stories covering various topics such as migration, the climate crisis and its solutions, and inequalities.
