Data in the Wild: Exploring Public Space Through Participatory Visualization
SIDE EVENT DAY 2
This outdoor workshop explores the communicative and emotional potential of data visualizations placed directly into urban public space. Participants will engage in hands-on, low-tech creation of temporary visual interventions using simple materials like chalk, string, or paper, while reflecting on local data, stories, and urban dynamics. This is not a typical data viz workshop: it’s a call to step outside, slow down, and explore how data can foster reflection, visibility, and unexpected encounters in the shared urban landscape.
