Back in 2015, Jessica Broscheit, Hannes Sieg and myself created a tumblr blog to collect thoughts on urban storytelling, data driven narratives and visualisation of urban data, digital and tangible designs as well as art installations in urban spaces. All this related to research into data driven storytelling, open government data, knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), rapid prototyping and design thinking. Some of the work led to projects such as How Will We Breath Tomorrow, a workshop led by Jessica […]
As mentioned before, Jessica Broscheit is conducting a workshop about air quality and urban data at the Creative Space for Technical Innovations at Hamburg’s University of Applied Sciences. It’s called “How Will We Breathe Tomorrow” and is part of the A/D/A Hamburg 2016, a conference about future utopias for today’s urban citizen. During the workshop people can learn about government efforts to collect and share air quality data in open government data platforms and develop their own air quality monitoring device to experiment […]

The most prominent example of data-driven journalism is the case of The Guardian and Wikileaks, where data […]

Art SV/SF is Art Miami’s fair on the West Coast between San Francisco and Silicon Valley. The art sv/sf 2015 prospectus provides with a glimpse of what was on display. “The second edition will run October 8-11, 2015 at the San Mateo Event Center and will showcase important artworks of the 20th and 21st centuries […]
urban-storytelling: Urban Storytelling – stories for us by us I am working on topics surrounding urban storytelling in a research group. Any insights and actual research cases will be posted on urban-storytelling.com in the future.
A great example of convincing visual storytelling and data journalism. This is an impressive data driven story about airbnb accommodations in Berlin and its correlations with the local real estate market, rents and affordable housing.
Die Mieten in Berlin steigen. Das hat viele Gründe. »Sharing Economy« Portale wie Airbnb locken Touristen und sind ein lohnenswertes Geschäft.

It is a student project at FH Potsdam within the course “From Reading to Exploring” at the design faculty. The students composed a great article with lots of interactions, high information density and context around facts like local hotspots, average rents, networks and correlations with the hotel industry etc.
