This workshop invites designers of data physicalizations to make sense of how people (‘users’) actually engage with their designs: What kind of discussions and actions can data physicalizations trigger? What rests on the designs, and what depends on facilitation?

Have you ever considered symptoms as material signs of dysfunctionalities self-inscribed in your body? Inspired by autographic visualization (Offenhuber, 2023 and 2020), this workshop suggests data physicalization and sonification to represent symptoms while also exploring material properties for personalized data communication.

By going beyond screen-based interaction, smart glasses are poised to redefine our interactions with technology and one another, shifting social norms and altering shared perceptions of reality. In this gamified workshop, we will navigate some of the social, ethical, and legal questions that the rapid adoption of immersive technology raises.

This workshop will explore the gradual process of understanding how physical movement can be digitized, transformed into data, and manipulated to bring a puppet to life.

As Generative AI transforms design workflows, it also generates vast amounts of discarded visual data which consumes energy, storage, and other resources involved in the generative AI production process, while remaining creatively untapped and forgotten. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises to re-think, re-code, and curate abandoned generative images.

This workshop explores embodied intelligence as a form of computation for navigating an increasingly unpredictable world.
