Data Visceralization and Climate Change

Catalog description

The body - our biological corpus, and its social, environmental, and technological extension - grounds our ability to sense and make sense. In ever-changing ways, the sensing and acting body is extensible. Apparatuses, networks, patterns, and affects are central in sculpting consciousness, addressability, and accountability. In contrast to Data Visualization, in which perspectival representations of data are arranged and optically received, Data Visceralization foregrounds information via translations that are physically experienced. In this course, students will focus on climate change and will develop individual and collective hypotheses, projects, and actions disrupting habitual procession and enabling active engagement.
