The Luxury Of Protest\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s graphic depictions of our society\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worst moments will make you stop and think about what it means to be human.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Peter Crnokrak began his career researching quantitative genetics, a field that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all about math, statistics and massive datasets, and mining for the hidden patterns between them. This helps explain much about his work today. A decade ago, the Croatian-born Crnokrak left science to become, instead, a graphic artist. He tried for several years to stay away from technical work, from creating illustrations out of math and algorithms. But he eventually gave in to that subset of design–data visualization–that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not so far removed from quantitative genetics. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153As a designer,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I just kind of fell into that desire to want to get lost in visual detail.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

His visualizations, created under the nom de data viz of The Luxury of Protest<\/a>, are both visually stunning and scientifically precise. And, as with his previous genetics research (he was trying to tease out the difference between nature and nurture in our genes), Crnokrak the graphic artist wrestles with enormous, core questions about humanity and history.<\/p>\n
