The Data We Do Not See: An Interview with Giorgia Lupi
Thoughts on embracing complexity and the future of data
Giorgia Lupi is an award-winning information designer. She recently became a partner at Pentagram, their only one specializing in data visualization. Her portfolio is vast, stunning and hard to summarize. She co-created the books Observe, Collect, Draw! and Dear Data with her friend and fellow designer Stefanie Posavec. Her work is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and currently part of the Nature-Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial at the Smithsonian Design Museum. Her TED Talk on data humanism has been viewed over 1.2 million times. Her list of installations, talks, and clients is longer than we can list in an introduction. One can say she’s been busy…
