Data - FMP

Data is...

raw, unprocessed information. When Data is filtered and analysed, it becomes information.

When information is interpreted and evaluated, it becomes knowledge.

In this project, you can interpret and conceptualize what data is.

You can use someone else's data

You can capture your own raw, unprocessed information and turn it into data.

Open Ended

What happens in your own day to day life that could be revealed, collected, counted, measured or mapped?

Using the theme Data as a starting point, propose and execute an independent creative art & design investigation that explores the theme in a personal and insightful manner.

Data doesn't have to be numerical at all!

Think about "Data" as:

An act/action

Record

for example..

photographs

handwritten letters

sentimental items

prints (hand, foot, seat, tyres)

personal documents (birth certificates)

Home videos

music and sounds

A coffee cup ring on a table..

..and much more!
