Workshop "Art, Innovation and Big Data: Design of Info-Objects for Data Visualization"

Given By: Andrea Sosa, Everardo Reyes, Homero Pellicer, and the special collaboration of Cecilia Illa, at the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA) 2020.

In this workshop, we focused on Data and Representation, introducing a step by a step approach to identify interesting patterns in a dataset
 and to find a symbolic path to make it visible and tangible. "Water" was the theme. The workshop was opened to artists, designers,
scientists, engineers, developers, social activists, and philosophers to work together in multidisciplinary teams over four
 hours, split in two days, to develop a prototype project. Day one was a theoretical and practical boost to reflect, research, 
and think about data representation. After 24 hours, each team presented a project. We expected the experience to be joyful
and thought-provoking.

This Workshop was the result of an international Art, Science and Technology cooperation Program "INNOVART" between three universities: Université Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis, National University of La Plata, and National University of Buenos Aires with the support of PIESCI of the Ministry of Education in Argentina and IFA from the Embassy of France.

The workshop was held on Saturday October 17th Day 1 (duration: 2h30) and Sunday October 18th Day 2 - (duration: 1h30) - 2020
