Abstract:
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.
