EJ Fox, Ian Johnson—Outlier 2021—Coding with Fire: Cooking with Data

EJ and Ian have been friends for over a decade since they first worked together at a failed data visualization start-up. Separated by thousands of miles, each week they jam out visualizing everything from COVID cases to police misconduct data to random numbers. Each episode they challenge themselves to make visualizations around new datasets and visualization concepts. How does that even work? How do you make livecoding exciting enough to get normal people to tune in? This talk will take you through the technical and narrative challenges in creating interesting things for a live audience, and why you should too! twitch.tv/enjalot
