In today's episode we speak with Anthony Starks, an independent developer and designer interested in data visualization, combining Art+Code and building open-sourced tools such SVGo (SVG generation), deck/decksh, and dchart. He gives us empowering information on the ways that we can use data as a tool for advocacy, and advice and examples for those of you that are interested in building your own data tools and visualizations. We talk about his involvement in the data visualization community’s online initiative, the Du Bois Challenge, including how he reproduced all of the hand drawn Du Bois data portraits with his modern digital tools. Anthony reminds us of the context of Du Bois’s original work, and the importance of its lessons for us today as we wield modern data to push for change.
