Biografie von Jose Duarte
Jose is a Colombian information designer, magister in communication and visual storyteller.
Unlike most of the infographics we see today, his data visualizations aren´t high-quality computer-aided; they´re handmade using simple items like balloons, tape and ruber balls. Using ordinary materials he has experimented with various visualization techniques from area charts to bubble graphs and ven diagrams in diverse scenarios as business, art, street interventions and even astronomy.
Now, he is exploring simple ways to visualize information quickly and easily and his work – particularly the handmade visualization toolkit and the #easydataclip project – has inspired and encouraged people to approximate to data visualization for the very first time.
His work has been published by Gestalten´s book Visual Storytelling and Promopress´s Infographics: designing and visualizing data and has appeared in world wide specialized magazines and blogs as Owni, Marie Claire, infoaesthetics, brainpickings and Co.Design among others.
He has made infoviz conferences and workshops in Colombia, Mexico, USA, Germany, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and Slovakia among others.
