'Data needs poetry' :: Tom Halsør

We invited Tom Halsør to NITH for the talk "Data needs poetry", held in English.

Halsør, an interaction and information designer at NRK, was responsible for the design and usability of NRK's new Nett-TV service. He taught information design at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, was an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins in London, and headed Grafill Edit, one of Norway's larger design conferences.

Through stories, reflections and case studies, the talk dealt with how complex material can be made engaging and meaningful, and what it takes for information to turn into meaning and action. The title was credited to Brendan Dawes (@brendandawes).
