The Design of Information, the Investigation of Design

Description

Lecture as part of the launch of HEAD's new Visual Knowledge master's programme

In an era of unprecedented amounts of data and an ever-expanding range of publishing formats, the field of information design seems more relevant than ever. Perhaps even more so, given that recent decades have seen another parallel development: as data has surged and publishing has become more accessible, the very concept of truth has grown increasingly fluid.

This shift is both technological and social – driven by new forms of manipulation, from deepfakes to algorithmic bias – and shaped by populist politics, media fragmentation, and social media echo chambers. In this evolving landscape, where information is abundant but trust is eroding, designers must do more than simply present data clearly.
