Description
Tangible Data aims to improve data literacy for sustainable development by integrating data into social awareness through artistic expression. This project overcomes obstacles such as information overload, misinformation, digital fatigue and the digital divide by presenting data in a tangible and captivating way. Using natural or recycled materials and digital fabrication techniques, such as 3D printing and laser cutting, data sculptures are created for public display, raising awareness and encouraging proactive initiatives on pressing issues such as climate change, poverty and education.
