In conjunction with the Interactive Data Visualizations course taught by Puria Nafisi, La Scuola Open Source propose a screening of the documentary "The Joy of Stats".
What does data show? To make obvious what is deductible.
Made in 2010 by Wingspan Productions and broadcasted by BBC, this documentary aims to dispel the "boring" reputation of statistics to reveal its great power in changing the way we understand the world. With the contribution of Hans Rosling, doctor, academic and Sweden Statistician died last February the 7th. Considered a web international superstar for his ability to present data in very imaginative ways, he's also creator of Trendalyzer, also known as Gapminder, visualization software of information useful for creating animation of statistical data through the technique of the interactive bubble chart.
The screening – in original language with English subtitles – will start at 7:30 PM.
The event is curated by Silvia Zotti and is open to all.
