Bruises— The Data that we don’t see, is a piece by Giorgia Lupi and Kaki King that uses Data Visualization to ask the following question:

“can a data visualization evoke empathy and activate us also at an emotional level, and not only at a cognitive one? Can looking at a data visualization make you feel part of a story of a human’s life?“

What I love about this piece, is that the designers are not just asking how data is scientific and computational, but also sensorial. This piece, in particular, takes in information about a child’s clinical records and her emotional experience as her body changes.
