Data Physicalization

This exhibit features work created in Jamie Harr's Data Science course "Data Physicalization". A data physicalization (or simply physicalization) is a physical artifact whose materiality encodes data. Data physicalization engages its audience and communicates data using tangible data representations. This course covers topics such as visualization aesthetics, the data-object, data sculptures, critical making, and wearable/art technology.

The students analized data set and created physicalization while examining the relationship between data literacy, record-keeping, and cultural and historical practices.
