Une carte électorale, c'est déjà un choix politique 🗳️ La façon de représenter un vote — la projection choisie, l'unité retenue, la couleur attribuée — influence la lecture qu'on en fait.
Color experiment. I reshuffled the pixels of famous paintings so they cluster by hue, saturation and lightness. No objects, no composition, just the hidden color structure of the artwork.
Four years of war in Ukraine. I designed this map for Doctors Without Borders💡Each light is a hospital location. “Lights out” marks the moment teams must switch off, evacuate, and move on as the front advances. A tribute to resilience and care under fire.
Went to the Kikk Festival in Namur a few weeks ago and loved it. Such an inspiring event for anyone into digital and creative culture. They just released some of the talks online, check them out! My favorite is this one from @roberthodgin.bsky.social 👇

Still buzzing after speaking at LIVE Magazine in Bozar. Sharing stories of Brussels through maps and visuals in front of more than 4300 people was unforgettable. Grateful for the energy, the audience and the amazing team behind the show.
I did a short interview with @observablehq.com about keeping visuals simple, clear, and easy to connect with. I also touched on curiosity, emotion, and what I’m still figuring out. Grateful for the conversation. 👇

Animation in dataviz has been my secret recipe for years—not just to help people understand my charts but to make them fun, engaging, and impactful. It’s often overlooked, yet easy to do with D3 transitions and super powerful. Thrilled to see my U.S. election map featured in this must-read article!
Observable@observablehq.com · 2y agoAnimation can be a gimmicky distraction in data visualization. But when used with care, animation can improve user experiences and help viewers track patterns across charts and metrics.
