Data Physicalization as a Design Tool for Science Communication
Berlin University of the Arts
The project explores how transforming data into physical objects can enhance science communication. Through sculptures and installations, it aims to make complex information more accessible and engaging.
“Data Physicalization as a Design Tool for Science Communication” aims to explore how the physical representation of data can serve as an effective tool in science communication. By creating tangible objects that represent complex data, the project seeks to facilitate understanding and interaction with scientific information for a broader audience.
The research uses design techniques to transform abstract datasets into physical representations, such as sculptures or installations, which can be displayed in museums, galleries, or science centers. These allow users to interact with the data in a multisensory way, enhancing engagement and comprehension.
The project fits into a broader context of studies on science communication, proposing data physicalization as an innovative methodology to overcome traditional barriers in the dissemination of scientific information.
Data Physicalization as a Design Tool for Science Communication represents a significant contribution to the field of science communication, offering new perspectives on how data can be made more understandable and engaging.
