LO7: Data Visualization

For my Looking Outwards, I picked a project done by the data visualization firm
Pitch Interactive. The project, Decoding Asian Hate, is an interactive data visualization that shows a timeline of Asian Hate incidents over the span of January 2020 to present. For the client The Asian American Foundation, Pitch Interactive turned these incidents into fragments of shattered glass. The shards of glass rotate in 3 dimensions around the screen. Users can click an individual shard, and it will bring up an overlay of the news article and date information. I think that this project sheds light on such a critical issue in a really unique and engaging format. Rather than just a raw text timeline, the designers made it into an experience that brings a raw emotive reaction that provides a completely more dramatic outcome to sway audiences.
