[Infovis] New book release: Making with data

[Samuel Huron]

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Our new book edited with Till Nagel, Lora Oehlberg and Weseley Willet is
out !

** Abstract **

"MAKING WITH DATA: Physical Design and Craft in a Data-Driven World"
provides a snapshot of the diverse practices contemporary creators are
using to produce objects, spaces, and experiences imbued with data. Across
25+ beautifully-illustrated chapters, international artists, designers, and
scientists each explain the process of creating a specific data-driven
piece—illustrating their practice with candid sketches, photos, and design
artifacts from their own studios. Featuring influential voices in computer
science, data science, graphic design, art, craft, and architecture, Making
with Data is accessible and inspiring for enthusiasts and experts alike.

** Endorsement **

*"This book has fresh inspirations from innovative artist-inventors who
open up new possibilities for anyone who has data that tells a story. It
makes me want to turn on the laser cutter and restart the 3D printer to
fabricate something startling, informative, and eye opening."*
Ben Shneiderman, Professor, Computer Science, University of Maryland

"This timely book explores new ways data is penetrating our living
environment and is crossing the boundary between the physical and the
digital. A compelling read for any data enthusiast!"
Carlo Ratti, Director, MIT Senseable City Lab

"*You will discover both an exhibition of wonderful data-inspired works as
well as the backstories of each of these pieces. A mind-blowing collection
highlighting what is happening at the frontiers of art and sciences in this
new field of data design.*"
Giorgia Lupi, partner at Pentagram and author of Dear Data
