For many outside of the scientific community, big data and the
forms it takes, such as statistical lists, spreadsheets and graphs,
often seem abstract and unintelligible. This book investigates how
digital fabrication and traditional making approaches are being
used to present data in newly engaging and interesting ways. The
first part of the book introduces the basic premise of the data
object and the concept of making digital data into a physical form.
Contributors cover topics such as biometrics, new technology, the
economics of data and open and community uses of data. The second
part presents a selection of exemplar forms and contexts for the
application of data-objects, such as smart surfaces, smart cities,
augmented reality techniques and next generation technical
interfaces that blend physical and digital elements. Making Data
delivers the importance and likely future prevalence of physical
representations of data. It explores the creative methods,
processes, theories and cultural histories of making physical
representations of information and proposes that the making of data
into physical objects is the next important development in the data
visualisation phenomenon.
