Beyond data ws book - thoughts 1.

What I learnt from "Beyond data" ws book brainstorming yesterday:

- Projects can be recycled too (not only domestic/industrial remains)

- brainstorming is nice on ping-pong tables - this was a great adventure :) - ping-pong tables proved to be a ready-to-use meaningful space to make order into ideas - the little child was just making efforts to rise while we worked on rising clear ideas from blurred ones

- Be physical! (It is important and exciting to work with data in general - but if the output is a tangible object it is even more exciting because our primer medium of sensation is the physical world around us) ... data physicalisations

- Intimate, personal - with the concept “take your breath away”
- we all liked the concept without having a complete image of the concept
- although the concept seemed to be pretty simple it also proved to be hard to elaborate when we went into details

- think in systems - yes, that`s true...

- Recreate real social interactions - with granny colours knitting (data granny) probably this was the project i liked the best (at least the thing what i understood of the concept)
- social interaction
- real conversation,
- fair job for grannies
- using the output as art or for some design purposes (and not throwing away the remains of an installation creating more waste)
- the data source for this project was not meaningful enough
- similar adventure (the social interacion part) from recent exhibitions (budapest): - Eat love – Marije Vogelzang
