Stefanie Posavec is a designer, artist, and author. Her mission is to push different ways in which data can be communicated to a diverse range of ages and audiences. What especially intrigued me about her is that her projects are “wearable or danceable, be found in hospitals, museums, or on television.”
An example of the wearable aspect of her work is “Air Transformed: Better with Data Society Commission”. This series is a collection of wearable air quality data, initiating a conversation about air pollution. My favorite piece is “Seeing Air”. The projects consists of 3 pairs of glasses, each pair demonstrating the levels of air pollution on a different day in Sheffield in 2014. Each pair of sunglasses also signifies a different type of pollutant: nitrogen dioxide, small particulates, and large particulates.
