A hands-on data visualisation workshop with Martina Zunica, followed by a talk from Andy Sushket on building interactive 3D worlds through AI orchestration.
What if you could turn raw data into a visual story that makes people stop, look and think differently? And what if you could build an immersive 3D world without writing a single line of code by hand?
Data and digital experiences are everywhere, from our everyday habits to the cities we live in. This event brings together two sides of visual communication. One is the craft of turning information into stories people understand and remember. The other is the new practice of directing AI to build rich interactive environments. Come for the creativity and stay for the hands-on practice. You'll leave with fresh ideas about where design, data and technology meet.

## Part 1 — Workshop: Turning Data into Visual Stories

with Martina Zunica, information designer and lecturer at Digital Learning Hub in Luxembourg

In this hands-on introduction to the creative world of data visualisation, you'll explore how designers turn raw numbers into compelling visual stories. You'll go beyond charts and dashboards to the creative thinking behind visual communication, and then try the process yourself.
What you'll do

• Explore data visualisation. Discover how information can be turned into clear, engaging and meaningful visual stories.
• Learn from real projects. See how designers go from raw data to finished visuals, and understand the creative decisions behind their work.
• Experiment with visual storytelling. Explore how design choices change the way we interpret and communicate information.
• Create your own visualisation. Turn a set of data points into a visual story in a guided exercise, with support from Martina.

## Part 2 — Talk: From Senior Engineer to Creative Director

Building an Interactive 3D Portfolio via AI Orchestration by Andy Sushket

What happens when a senior 3D engineer stops writing boilerplate and starts acting like a creative director? This session looks at the emerging practice of "vibe-coding" interactive 3D web environments. The team used Gemini to iterate on visual concepts and Claude Code to architect WebGL/Three.js scenes. With these tools they built a complex, interactive low-poly world without typing a single line of code by hand.
There's a catch: unguided AI code will quickly melt your GPU. You'll learn why senior-level graphics intuition is still essential for getting AI agents to deliver smooth, fast performance. That means knowing about draw-call reduction, instancing and memory management.

## What you'll take away

• A fresh perspective on data visualisation, and your own creative experiment in turning data into design
• Inspiration from real-world projects, from information design to interactive 3D
• A look at how human creative direction and technical judgement shape what AI can build

## Who is it for?

Designers, developers, students and anyone curious about where data, design, technology and storytelling meet.
No previous experience in data visualisation, design or 3D development is needed. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment!
