Feral Data Visualization · Cathryn Ploehn · On Data And Design
On Data and Design Meetup #27
Online, May 22nd, 2024
Each designer is driven by unique motivations and visions when creating information design and data visualization, and responsibility plays an important role. What ethical considerations need to go into their creations to ensure their work acts as a force for good and behavior change? Where is the untapped potential for designers? As agents of change, designers have the opportunity to redefine ecosystems, influence global narratives and shape the socio-ecological landscape.
We are exploring what drives our speakers to innovate and push the boundaries of traditional data visualization. Alongside ethical questions on overarching considerations, we are also exploring how photography, illustration and code, when paired with data, can enhance narrative and emotional impact.
Cathryn Ploehn (https://cathrynploehn.com/feraldataviz/), a designer in the field of data visualization, will discuss her approach titled "Feral Data Visualization Manifesto." Her work uses techniques like botanical simulation (l-systems, cellular automata, space colonization), she transforms traditional data visualization into new, botanical forms. Cathryn will show her research projects and her approach of responsible design which opens new pathways for understanding and interacting with the data around us.
On Data and Design is an evening lecture series organized by the Basel-based studio for information design Superdot (https://superdot.studio). The lecture series fosters knowledge, community and exchange at the intersection of design and data practice. Our free, quarterly events feature three short talks with beer, snacks and good company. Currently On Data and Design live events are running in Basel, Vienna and Berlin with a growing community of over 4000 engaged DataVizzers.
