“Data is nothing more than an abstraction of our reality,” says information designer Giorgia Lupi. Acclaimed for her engaging data-driven visual narratives, Lupi invites us to consider data as a tool for communication and personal reflection. Through animation she recalls her journey with long COVID and use of data to track her symptoms, which resulted in a visual opinion piece published in the “New York Times.”
“It was my way to feel sane in a moment of deep uncertainty,” Lupi reflects. “Ultimately it’s remembering that data is not about numbers, but it’s about people, and this is the way that we can actually make data more human.”
