Symposium « data ecologies »

DATA ECOLOGIESis a symposium that invites creatives, academics, scientists, technologists and all interested parties to share ‘instruments’ or provocative prototypes and practises that, through the use of data, enhance our understanding of the world and our impact on it, defining a range of trans-disciplinary strategies and projects to manifest complex ecologies – to make the invisible visible. The Lab sets out to be a catalyst for creative experimentation and invites leading artists, scientists and technologists to share ‘instruments’ or provocative prototypes and practises that, through the use of data, enhance our understanding of the world and our impact on it.

DATA ECOLOGIES will explore a variety of approaches for harvesting environmental data and a range of design strategies and media forms that can be used to visualise and sonify it. The symposium consists of invited speakers and case studies followed by ‘hands-on’ Hardware + Software and Data Visualisation Labs which demonstrate viable solutions for creative and enviromental practice.
