Join the President's Office for a talk about "data humanism" with , an award-winning information designer and a partner at design studio in New York City.

Giorgia Lupi is an information designer and artist whose research and practice uses data as a tool to better understand human nature. Lupi, an advocate for data humanism, uses data visualization as her expressive medium to narrate what she discovers. As we are impacted by algorithms, infographics, and big data, Lupi analyzes this data to create informational graphics that translate into narratives, visual, and tactile structures, immersive websites, and interactive experiences that render the data approachable and enable the viewer or participant to understand the information and locate its relevance in their lives and the lives of others.

Lupi has worked on a wide range of projects from branding and marketing work for international business clients including Starbucks and IBM, to work for the COVID-19 Technology Task force, Museum of the City of New York, and University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. She has also focused on social and personal projects, including the Creative Pace of 20th Century Artists, collaboration with musicians, and working with a friend on visualizations to help cope with the illness of a child. As artist-in-residence at Rand, her topics of investigation and visualization include research on how to transform mental health care in America, the potential risks and benefits of the “Internet of Bodies,” and U.S. trends in income inequality.

Lupi's graphic narratives have been published in The New York Times, La Lettura, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Popular Science and others. Her work has been exhibited at the Mindworks Center in Chicago, MoMA, the Museum of Design Atlanta, and numerous galleries. She is co-author of Dear Data and Observe, Collect, Draw: A Visual Journal. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Art, and has been a Director’s Fellow at the MIT Media Lab, a member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future council on New Metrics, and was just named the Communication Design winner for the 2022 National Design Awards.
