us

Our core team consists of just two of us: Alfredo and Sergio. We first met at Medialab-Prado in Madrid many years ago, and since then, we have been collaborating on various projects due to our shared interest in design and creative coding

Sergio Galán

Data Visualization Engineer.
I've been tinkering with computers, webs and interactive technolgies since I was a teenager. I was trained as a telecommunication engineer and an interaction designer, and I love to build complex interfaces where data flows and people can interact in a meaningful way.

Alfredo Calosci

Communication Designer.
An architect by training, I transitioned my career into that of a freelance consultant in the area of web design, interaction design, visual communication and creative coding. I'm also a fixed-term researcher at the Department of Architecture, Design and Urbanism in Alghero.

We borrowed our brand name from the acclaimed Etienne Jules Marey's 1846 essay, ”Le Methode Graphique.”

Marey wanted to understand complex physical phenomena, such as body movement or fluids. To do that, he used new machineries to translate the physical world into images and diagrams that could be studied.

In Spanish, ”the graphic method” is what we call the technique to solve equation systems by plotting formulas. Both examples include a core idea: Use the power of visual representation to understand, or “think with the eye.“
