Event overview
This event brings together different perspectives from science, art and computing on the data practices that are currently being imagined, configured and tested under the broad rubric of 'citizen science.' It is organised as part of the Design and Social Science seminar series.
The event will take the form of a roundtable, with short presentations followed by discussion.
Tom August (Centre for Ecology and Hydrology) is a computational ecologist. His work focuses on bridging the gap between research scientists and information technology experts.
Christian Nold (University College London) is an artist, designer and researcher working to develop new participatory models and technologies for communal representation. He is currently working on a PhD in the Extreme Citizen Science Group at UCL.
Dan McQuillan (Computing, Goldsmiths) is a Lecturer in Creative and Social Computing, co-founder of the Social Innovation Camp and blogs about social technology and social change at internet.artizans.
The Design and Social Science Seminar Series has been co-organised by the departments of Sociology and Design since 2008. This year's series explores the burgeoning analytic interest and methodological preoccupation with ‘data’ and the shifting terrain of data practices across design and social science. Incorporating lectures, workshops and demonstrations, the seminar series brings together a resonant range of events on data practices that provoke questions about the formation and force of data, the claims made for and through data, and the altered practices and politics of data.
