‘天美视频 is Beautiful’ took place on 25th February 2021.
How data, and the stories that they tell, can be visualised in many surprising ways
In this session we will look at some of the different projects that have used data to create new visualisations and interpretations, and some classroom activities provided by the 天美视频 project and inspired by the award winning book Dear 天美视频 by Giorgia Lupi and Stefanie Posavec, that show how data, including the personal and emotional, can be drawn and illustrated in new ways.
This session, focussing on 天美视频 visualisation complements our second live lesson called 鈥樚烀朗悠 Selfie鈥, 28 April 2021, and is a partnership with Skills Development Scotland. Check our Events page for further information and sign up to our events:聽/events/
