Book edited by Giorgia Lupi and Phillip Cox: “Through inspiring illustrations and a fresh, accessible approach, Speak Data invites us to see data differently—not just as numbers on a screen or tick marks in a chart, but as a language to help us better understand each other and the world around us. Seventeen thought-provoking conversations with leaders in business, tech, medicine, psychology, health, art, and more explore the human side of data, unpacking its powerful ability to divulge patterns, tell stories, stir emotion, and illuminate complexity. While often stereotyped as abstract or intimidating, here data is revealed as something far different: personal, nuanced, and above all, human made.
Featuring:
- Tech pioneer John Maeda on the value of data visualization during global emergencies
- Marketing legend Seth Godin on how to use data to get people to really care about climate change
- Museum curator Paola Antonelli on whether data is art
- Author James Clear on the ways data can (and can’t) describe human identity
- AI data artist Refik Anadol on how big datasets can dream
- And many more…(More)”.
