In this era characterized, in part, by social media and fake news, have data, science, and rigor lost influence? Can a rigorous graphic be attractive and go viral? Is it a problem with the sender, the receiver, the channel, or the format? Or is it a matter of communicating differently? What is certain is that the communication landscape has changed in recent times: in how we consume information, in the formats we use, in the attention we pay to it, and so on. In this workshop, we will answer these questions and provide some key insights for effectively communicating information, data, and knowledge to a general audience, using data visualization and adhering to the "designer's obligations" outlined by the French philosopher J.F. Lyotard.

Germán Molina is the founder and director of Dataly, a design studio specializing in data visualization and communication, and information design. He holds a degree in Economics and Business Administration, an MBA, and a Master's degree in Graphic Design and Communication. He was Managing Director of the Valencian Institute of Economic Research.

With the collaboration of the Library and Documentation Service of the University of Valencia.
