摘要：Although digital technologies have revolutionized how we visually represent data, humans continue the multi-millennial tradition of creating physical objects to represent data. These objects encapsulating data are experiencing a dramatic renaissance, fueled by a growing enthusiasm for data and driven by new fabrication technologies, materials, and processes. In this talk, Samuel Huron will demonstrate that non-visualization experts can construct and reflect through complex visualization with physical objects. After, he will present the just-released book edited with Till Nagel, Wesley Willet, and Lora Oehlberg, “Making with Data – Physical Design and Craft in a Data-Driven World.” To highlight the diversity of approaches, he will present five strategies for rendering data: handcraft, participation, digital production, actuation, and environmental. He will showcase the design and construction process of several artists, designers, and researchers that have created some of the most exciting art pieces, projects, and installations that bring data into the physical world. Based on these panoramas of approaches, he will raise some questions that could challenge and enrich our approaches to data visualization design.
个人简介：Samuel Huron is an associate professor in Design and Information Communication Technologies at Télécom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, in France. He is part of the Interact team, the Diva Team and in charge of developing the design studio inside the school. In 2014, he graduated with a PhD in computer science from the university of Paris Saclay in collaboration with INRIA. For his work on “constructive visualization,” he received the 2015 best doctoral dissertation award from IEEE VGTC Pioneer Group. He was then invited as a Post-doctorate researcher at the University of Calgary in the Innovis group. Before, he was the lead designer of the Institute of Research and Innovation of the Pompidou Center. His research focuses on understanding how people construct and externalise visual representations of data using various media, i.e., how people create, manipulate and communicate abstract information in graphical and tangible ways. His approach is grounded in fifteen years of experience in interactive media industries, where he worked for various civic, cultural, and corporate clients.
