Responsible Data Conversations: DataViz with Catherine D'Ignazio and Mimi Onuoha by The Engine Room

A conversation about the need for sceptical users, diversity of subject matter and makers in data visualization.

Catherine D'ignazio (Assistant Professor of Data Visualization and Civic Media at Emerson College) talks about how it is important to encourage more scepticism in the viewer and how situated data visualization implies changes in process, content and form. https://twitter.com/kanarinka

Mimi Onuoha (Brooklyn-based artist and researcher; focused on code, data, and people, Data and Society Fellow) talks about how the tools and libraries that we use prioritize a certain visual identity (dots on charts, line on maps, etc.) and asks if we are sometimes stuck at the limitation of the tools that we use.
