Tangible Data, a Phenomenology of Human-Data Relations

Published:15 January 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper presents an overview of the research that I have conducted as part of my PhD studies. The objective of this research is to describe and better understand how embodiment influences and augments an audience's experience of data representations. It explores, through creative practice, whether embodying data in alternative modalities contributes to an audience's capacity to construct meaning and empathize with the data source.
