Couple in Data

Couple in Data is a creative duo working with data visualization and everyday objects to make political, geopolitical, and social issues visible beyond the screen.

Couple in Data is a studio that moves between art, design, and data, always seeking ways to reconnect people, technology, and the world we inhabit.

Instead of treating information as something abstract, they bring it back into space and into the body through installations, objects, and experiences that can be felt and shared.

The studio was born from the meeting of two people whose bond of love naturally expanded into a shared creative journey. Johana Dueñas, with her sensitivity for visual storytelling and material culture, and Eduardo España, with his passion for data and experimental design, discovered in each other not only a life companion but also a partner in exploration.

Their practice emerges from this dialogue, where affection and curiosity intertwine, allowing design to become both a language of intimacy and a tool for reimagining the world.

Through the staging of everyday objects — medicines, belts, garbage bags, sausages, pizzas, knives, or even dogs — Couple in Data make data related to political, geopolitical, and social issues visible, shifting data visualization beyond the screen and anchoring it in the physical world.

— Marthe Viallet

They create new ways of seeing and narrating, drawing fluid maps that resist boundaries and widen the horizon of what design tied to activism can set in motion. Their approach carries information outside the digital plane, slowing its pace, giving it form, and turning it into a call for collective imagination.

Rather than providing fixed answers, each project they make opens spaces of encounter — moments where data becomes story, algorithms turn into gestures, and technology becomes a shared ground for reflection and change.
