Gianni Ritchie wins Show Us The Data contest

The winner of the ‘Show Us The Data’ competition, organised by the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for BOLD Cities and construction association Bouwend Nederland, is graphic design student Gianni Ritchie. For the competition, designers and artists were invited to visualise data in the city in a creative manner. With his ‘My Data App’, Ritchie uses a video animation to demonstrate what it would look like if all the data in the city were visible. This what-if concept secured him the first prize of € 2,500.
