• Panel: Travels Through Hyper-Liminality: Exploring the space where digital meets the real

  This talk will ex­plore how the cre­ation of phys­i­cal arte­facts based on data ex­tracted from com­plex dig­i­tal in­for­ma­tion sys­tems changes the way we read, in­ter­pret and re­spond to com­plex in­for­ma­tion. Through the in­ter­pre­ta­tion of sci­en­tific data col­lected on the re­la­tion­ship be­tween ‘age and dex­ter­ity/strength’ the pro­ject dis­cussed in­ves­ti­gates how dif­fer­ent vi­sual trans­la­tions change our re­la­tion­ship and un­der­stand­ing of data. More­over, by recon­cep­tu­al­is­ing dig­i­tal in­for­ma­tion into a phys­i­cal en­vi­ron­ment the re­search seeks to re­veal how stake­hold­ers read, per­ceive and re­spond to these dif­fer­ent man­i­fes­ta­tions.
