Evangelos Kapros — Spanish art, Visualization & open data.

Data Visualization is a trending topic worldwide. While its visual aspects are something to write back home about, the actual data that are visualized are also worthy of attention. How open are our data? How difficult is their acquisition? How objective are our data? How does Open Data "happen"? See how in our project DromoArt with Arquitectura Expandida at Medialab-Prado we managed to improve our design process by answering these questions.

Evangelos is based in the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin, where he's developing and designing databases and their UIs, while simultaneously trying to figure out how User-Centered Design works with data management systems. He's also doing research for his PhD on Human-Computer Interaction for Adaptive Information Systems (having originally studied Information Systems Engineering) and he's also worked previously as a freelancer designer and developer. Evangelos writes occasionally at ekapros.wordpress.com.
