Data Stories 93 | OddityViz with Valentina D’Efilippo and Miriam Quick
We have designer Valentina D’Efilippo and researcher Miriam Quick on the show to talk about their recent project OddityViz, a series of data visualizations of “Space Oddity,” the famous David Bowie song.
Valentina and Miriam deconstructed “Space Oddity” into multiple data sets to capture different aspects of the song: its narrative, rhythm, melody, and lyrics. Then they used each element to create a a unique data visualization piece.
They printed the visualizations as a series of posters and laser-carved acrylic black discs. Beautiful!
On the show we talk about their background, the process they followed to develop the project, and the events happening around it.
Enjoy the show!
