Eric Rodenbeck, the ​founder of an independent mapping and data visualization studio, is often concerned about how people perceive data. In this TEDx talk, he pushes the topic into the future and, borrowing two visually and conceptually stunning examples from his own work, asks the question: how do robots see data? Entrepreneur and designer Eric Rodenbeck is the founder of independent mapping and data visualization studio Stamen Design. From his base in San Francisco’s Mission District he thinks about cities and how they work. Through connecting design with civic duty, people with place, and passion with data, Eric fulfils his mission of being an ambassador of San Francisco values: openness, inclusiveness, experimentation, and a damn good party.
