061  |  Visualizing Your "Google Search History" with Lisa Charlotte Rost

Author: Enrico Bertini and Moritz Stefaner October 12, 2015 Duration: 25:48
Here we go with a new project episode! This time we talk with Lisa Charlotte Rost about her project "My Google Search History." Lisa is a visualization designer based in Berlin and the project is about how she collected and visualized her google search history to look into her personal data. In the episode we discuss how she came up with the idea and all the steps she followed to realize it. She has also a nice page on github with code that you can reuse to do the same thing with your own data! This episode is sponsored by Qlik who allows you to explore hidden relationships within data that lead to insights. Check out the new blog post on the qlik blog called: "The role of multiple devices in our workspaces" by Donald Farmer. And, there is a big Qlik Sense Roadshow with over 100 events in Europe.

Enrico Bertini and Moritz Stefaner have a conversation you’re invited to join. Their Data Stories podcast sits at a fascinating crossroads, where the technical craft of data analytics meets the intuitive design of visual representation. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a cafe with two experts who are genuinely curious, unpacking not just the "how" but the "why" behind the ways we see and understand information. You’ll hear them explore the latest tools and research, but also grapple with the deeper questions of narrative, aesthetics, and human perception that give data its true meaning and impact. The discussions are grounded in their professional experiences, making complex ideas in technology and design feel accessible and immediately relevant. It’s a space for anyone who creates, studies, or simply wonders about the charts, maps, and diagrams that shape our world. By weaving together perspectives from arts, education, and visual practice, this podcast reveals how data, when thoughtfully handled, can tell stories that are as compelling as they are informative. Tune in for a consistently thoughtful look at the evolving language of numbers and shapes.
