The Living Languages of Data Visualization

ABSTRACT
The talk explores the design process and reasoning behind different data visualization projects, each with its own motivations and characteristics. It focuses on the visual languages used to give shape to data, showing how the visual words in data visualization can be as alive as the stories they tell.
