Despite the rise of sleek infographics, the massive quantities of data we generate can seem overwhelming and impenetrable. Stefanie Posavec is a designer and artist on a mission to make data more accessible and especially more human. Posavec has turned open datasets into interactive hopscotch games, converted air quality stats into wearable jewelry, and created a visualization of Jack Kerouac's 'On The Road'. Posavec's approach -- often using analog means -- demonstrates how data is an expressive and tactile tool that can be used to derive meaning from our everyday lives. Come hear her talk about some of her warm and friendly data projects, and then contribute your own data points an in-program workshop!
