DATA VISCERALIZATION

“Making the Desert Island Discs Dataset: Data Visceralization and How We Don’t Know What We Know” investigates and explores how data and data analysis plays a far more important role in Digital Humanities (DH) than what might be assumed. Through data visceralizations utilizing our senses, we aim to experience data beyond its pre-conceived assumptions, DH canon, and raise awareness of multimodal sense making of what data can represent.

There is an overlay of round pixels which some are blacked out leaving the image looking like there are holes. — Base photo by Daniel Öberg on Unsplash, pixelation rendering by Carol Choi
