DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kirell Benzi got his Ph.D from EPFL in 2016. He is now the
  founder and CEO of Kirelion\, a creative data science startup based in Pa
 ris. Passionate about both computer science and art\, he began his interes
 t in digital creation by making abstract art from pictures at a young age.
  Combining both data analysis and network visualization\, he tries to cap
 tivate the audience by showing that algorithms\, apart from their scientif
 ic necessity\, also generate emotions.\nThe Digital Humanities Institute i
 s happy to welcome Dr. Kirell Benzi for a a talk on 13 November at 3:15pm 
 in room BC410.\n\nAbstract\nEven if it may seem unnatural at first\, the c
 ombination of art and science is gaining momentum in the research communit
 y. In this talk\, I will explain why data art is a formidable support for 
 scientific communication by showing how I went from raw data mining to the
  final creative representation. Throughout various examples\, we will see 
 that this approach can be used regardless of one's field of research as lo
 ng as there is data to support it.\n
