    Topics and themes to visualize



    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
