How can information design convey complex topics such as aging research?
Through his popular books and groundbreaking TED Talk on the beauty of data visualization, David McCandless has transformed the creative landscape for information design and visual storytelling. His information design work has appeared in numerous publications, including The Guardian, Wired, and Die Zeit, and has also been showcased at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Wellcome Trust gallery in London, and at the Tate Britain.
In this exclusive New York City appearance, the London-based data journalist will share insights from his studio practice. He will be joined by Mark Collins of the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research to discuss the challenges of conveying complex topics through visual communications, based on the Live Longer, Live Well animation created in collaboration with the Glenn Foundation and AFAR.
This event is co-sponsored and hosted with the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) (http://www.afar.org). For more of McCandless’s work, visit davidmcandless.com.
