Louis Sullivan, one of the first great skyscraper architects, wrote in 1896 "Whether it be the sweeping eagle in his flight, or the open apple-blossom, the toiling work-horse, the blithe swan, the branching oak, the winding stream at its base, the drifting clouds, over all the coursing sun, form ever follows function, and this is the law.“
This On Data And Design event will explores the question of whether Sullivan's statement can still be put into a new context 126 years later, with practical examples from three speakers. The question is whether design follows the data or does the data follow the design? What is the mindset behind it? Does a question follow the data or does the question follow the design? What is the relationship between data literacy and questions? Does the audience follow the data or does the audience follow the design? How can you create dataviz for different age groups?
Stefanie Posavec, whose work has been exhibited internationally at major galleries including the Centre Pompidou and MoMA (http://www.stefanieposavec.com/), will talk about recent projects that focus on finding new and experimental approaches for the communication of data and information. Stefanie will share important experiences and challenges about the power to communicate data to a variety of ages and audiences.
