Get in Touch!
We offer a recurring workshop that invites participants to consider the humanistic, interpretive nature of data collection, analysis, and visualization. We’ve adapted this workshop for a variety of contexts and audiences.
If you are interested in attending, our upcoming workshops are listed below. If you’d like to invite us to facilitate the workshop for your organization or community, get in touch!
Workshop Description
Please join us as we explore the connection between art and the creative side of visualizing data. In this workshop we will share data art inspiration, local data resources, and spend time getting creative making our own art using data.
Data is collected and shared in a myriad of ways and sometimes can be complicated or difficult to understand (especially in a presentation where the slide goes too quickly and the numbers are small and you are in the back of the room) - however there are many ways to use, share and talk about data.
During the workshop, you’ll build connections, discover new ways of displaying data and feel more confident exploring datasets on your own.
No computers will be used in this workshop, and there are no prerequisite skills or experiences. You are encouraged to join even (or especially!) if you feel like you shouldn’t because you aren’t a “data” person. Come!
Workshop Slides
A shareable version of our slides can be found here. Slides contain references and links for all data and artwork discussed in our workshop. We encourage you to explore, reuse, adapt, etc. as you see fit. Our slides are shared under a CC-BY-NC-SA license.
