    Description of Activity

    Dr. Gumtau was invited to present her design work for the IConiC project – an innovative transdisciplinary collaboration between art & design and engineering. In her talk, Dr. Gumtau critiques the notion of data as a representation of universal ‘truth’, and introduces ways of understanding data in a ‘narrative and multi-faceted expressive form’. She argues for a human centred way of designing for data, and to experiment with other interesting ways to communicate meaning in data beyond graphs and dashboards – something the design community would be particularly well positioned to do.
