During the first day, participants will be introduced to data physicalization and digital tracking practices of personal information. This includes a definition of what data is and how it might be useful in terms of design.
This phase is meant to onboard participants on the concept of data, providing a critical perspective on tracking practices applied by technology. At the end of the day, participants will choose a database to work on. The database might refer to data that they know or do not know is already available on their devices. The second day is dedicated to the introduction of the machines and tools available at Fablab. Applicants will be introduced to the use of the laser cutter and engraver, 3D printer, AxiDraw and vinyl cutter. The second day ends with participants defining their ideas of physicalization.
The rest of the week is left to prototyping with the support of tutors. Participants are requested to document their projects in order to formalise the process and share the knowledge by creating an open repository available for the design community working with data. In the end, everyone will present their result and the process applied to the dataset to obtain the artefact.
