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.

The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

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.

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

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

"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 <3
