Data as seductive material

I got invited to northern Sweden by the lovely folks at Umeå Institute of Design and Tellart.

It was a fantastic couple of days, where ideas were swapped, things were made and fine fun was had late into the sub-artic evening…

It was their first (and hopefully not the last) Spring Summit at the Umeå Institute of Design, entitled “Sensing and sensuality”.

I tried to come up with something on that theme, mainly of half-formed thoughts that I hope I can explore some more here and elsewhere in the coming months.

It’s called “Data as seductive material” and the presentation with notes is on slideshare, although I’ve been told that there will be video available of the entire day here with great talks from friends old and new.

Thank you so much to the faculty and students of Umeå Institute of Design, and mighty Matt Cottam of Tellart for the invitation to a wonderful event.
