Giorgia Lupi: Finding Humanity in Data

In her 99U talk, ‘data humanist’ and Pentagram partner Giorgia Lupi offers a look into the far-reaching applications of her work in data and design, from corporate (an AR-powered map for Starbucks retail stores) to institutional (a site-specific visualization of a MoMA exhibition) to personal (an interpretation of a child’s life with chronic illness). Giorgia encourages creatives to harness data as a design tool, while respecting human privacy and experience in their output.

About Giorgia Lupi: Giorgia Lupi is an information designer, artist, and entrepreneur. She is the co-founder and design director of Accurat, a data-driven design firm with offices in Milan and New York.

After receiving her master’s degree in architecture, she earned her PhD in design at Politecnico di Milano. Her work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where she was commissioned to create an original, site-specific piece in 2017.

Giorgia’s TED Talk on her humanistic approach to data has over one million views. She is co-author of Dear Data and of the new interactive book, Observe, Collect, Draw! A Visual Journal. She recently joined the MIT Media Lab as a Director’s Fellow.
