Own Your Data

by David Meyer

Data visionary Jef Thorp takes you on a tour of data visualization, conceptualization, ownership and inequality, and inspires you to take control of your data.

Data artist in residence at The New York Times and hugely popular TED speaker Jer Thorp’s passion is visualizing data to uncover its complex aspects and make the formerly invisible visible. To make data more equitable, he defends a decentralized web that would repatriate data’s many stories to the communities who created them.

Starting in 2009, Thorp experimented on various data sources, including New York Times stories, the influenza genome, and timelines from Avengers comic books.
