Data as a Material for Design: Alternative Narratives, Divergent Pathways, and Future Directions

This one-day workshop will bring together a diverse group of practitioners and researchers within the CHI community to discuss and
explore data’s increasing use as a material for design. This workshop encourages the submission of design exemplars, i.e., physical
or digital works (in progress), design processes, or provocative or
controversial pieces on the topic of data as a design material. If we
are to continue to explore what data means as a design material
and how we will continue to co-exist with them in our everyday
lives through new and exciting ways and means, we must develop
new strategies, tactics, tools, and outcomes. By bringing together
products, processes, and provocations, this workshop will nurture
and extend the continuation of research inquiring into data as a
design material in its many forms. Our workshop will be conducted
through physical and digital activities before, during, and after the
onsite event at CHI 2023.
