ABSTRACT
In this proposed panel, we will discuss the practice of Making with Data—the practice of creating physical artifacts that represent a dataset. This topic lies at the intersection of several CHI communities: data visualization, fabrication, and tangible interaction. Our goal is to discuss contemporary practices, but also to envision future ways that we might continue to make physical representations of data in the future, given emerging fabrication techniques, data representation practices, and desired interactions and experiences with data.

Making Data Tangible: A Cross-disciplinary Design Space for Data Physicalization
CHI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsDesigning a data physicalization requires a myriad of different considerations. Despite the cross-disciplinary nature of these considerations, research currently lacks a synthesis across the different communities data physicalization sits upon, ...
Tangible Data, explorations in data physicalization
TEI '16: Proceedings of the TEI '16: Tenth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionHumans have represented data in many forms for thousands of years, yet the main sensory channel we use to perceive these representations today still remains largely exclusive to sight. Recent developments, such as advances in digital fabrication, ...
Opportunities and Challenges for Data Physicalization
CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsPhysical representations of data have existed for thousands of years. Yet it is now that advances in digital fabrication, actuated tangible interfaces, and shape-changing displays are spurring an emerging area of research that we call Data ...
