Have you ever wondered how to be more creative with data and get away from pre-made charts? Wouldn't it be nice if you could make your audience feel and understand the intent behind your data stories?
With Data Art, sometimes known as artistic data visualization, we focus on creating meaningful aesthetic pieces from complex real-world data. We only stop when we think our work conveys powerful emotions while being understandable by the audience!
In this data art initiation Masterclass, we introduce powerful yet accessible tools to be creative with data. We first start by reviewing some basics and rapidly move on to the creation and manipulation of the dataset we will use.
The second, and most important, part of the Masterclass is dedicated to the creation of our first data-drive experiment with Cables.gl, a visual programming language in the browser. While no data art or real programming experience is required, an understanding of data structures will help.
If you want to push your creative side and learn cutting-edge technology, this Masterclass is for you!

About This Speaker
Kirell Benzi is a data artist, science communicator and researcher. His primary interests revolve around creating visual experiences that inspire, educate and empower large audiences using state-of-the-art technology.
In their whole, Kirell’s creations can be articulated and deciphered following an array of tones, shapes, dots, and lines staged according to the nature of the data. Through a hypnotic visual semantic, he works to show that algorithms have a soul… and that we can extract emotions from complexity using tools and methods that come straight from scientific research.
Kirell holds a Master of Science in Communication Systems from ECE Paris and a Ph.D. in Data Science from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). In 2017, he founded his studio Kirelion around Information design, Creative technology, Research to business, Public speaking, Data art, Data visualization, Data science and Software engineering.
