About the project

The data-objects project is a practice-based research project that asks the following questions:

  • Can the creation of physical artefacts based on data extracted from complex digital information systems change the way we read, interpret and respond to digital information?
  • By reconceptualising digital information into a physical environment can we add new insight to information that is typically presented in the form of statistical lists, and graphs, to people outside the scientific community?
  • What qualities/traits can we capitalise when moving information between digital/material environments?
