Dear friends, Alberto here.
Today I bring you the third episode of our Friends of the Open Visualization Academy series (see the previous two here and here). My guest is Moritz Stefaner. We had a long and detailed conversation about one of his latest projects, 'The State of Neuroscience’.
Moritz has been a defining figure in visualization for more than a decade. Here’s how he describes himself in his website:
As a self-employed “Truth and Beauty Operator”, Moritz Stefaner keeps chasing the perfect shape for information.
With a background in Cognitive Science and Interface Design, his work beautifully balances analytical and aesthetic aspects in mapping complex phenomena to support data-driven decision making.
Moritz has helped clients like the OECD, Google News Initiative, Salesforce, the World Economic Forum, Deutsche Bahn and the Max Planck Research Society to find insights and beauty in large and complex data sets.
He is the record winner of the Kantar Information is Beautiful awards and his work has been exhibited at Venice Biennale of Architecture, SIGGRAPH, Max Planck Science Gallery, Fondation EDF, and Ars Electronica.
As a writer, co-host of the Data Stories podcast, and sought-after keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, Moritz Stefaner continues to excite more and more people about the magic that can emerge when art and science connect deeply.
And now, my conversation with Moritz…
