Data & Stories
The focus of stories is on individual people rather than averages,
on motives rather than movements, on point of view rather than the view
from nowhere, context rather than raw data.

“I think people have begun to forget how powerful human stories are,
exchanging their sense of empathy for a fetishistic fascination with data,
networks, patterns, and total information... Really, the data is just part of the story. The human stuff is the main stuff, and the data should
enrich it."
