From Data Visualisation to Data Manifestation

Is data visualization insufficient for apprehending and comprehending high volume, high-velocity, high-variety, and high-dimension data? This talk presents new approaches that go beyond mere two-dimensional visualization - whether screen-based or printed, static or dynamic - to encompass different forms, materials, and modes of experience. Data manifestation, data materiality, and data experience bring together data science with an understanding of materials, modes of communication, sensory perception, cognitive and social processes, and especially, good design principles. It's a new kind of design practice that is data literate and grounded in science, while remaining experimental, critical, and conceptual.
