Richness in data• Data can be misleading
• Richer datasets to provide context
• Explore different modes of interaction with data
The medium is part of the message• Technological devices change how we think• Different senses give different insights• We interpret data through a cultural filter• We create meaning through our community environment

Ethics and politics• What do the citizen scientists get out of it?• How can we create spaces for agency and innovation?

Human-centred citizen science• Interdisciplinary approaches•Citizen science methods•DIY science•Embodied experiences of data
Pikslo Deep Dive - underwater interception•Co-mentored workshop: Robertina Sebjanic, Gjino Sutic, Slavko Glamocanin and Kat Austen• Piksel Festival 2015, Bergen, Norway

Hydrophone in fjord captures the sound of our motor
Engineering Comes Home•Community co-design methods for infrastructure engineering•Nexus of food, water, waste and energy• Partners: UCL Engineering, Newcastle University’s Open Lab, iilab
Engineering Comes Home•Co-design with the community of what measurements are needed•Sustained engagement•Engagement with politics of infrastructure
Multiple disciplines, knowledge sharing•Sociology•Engineering / engineering design•Software and Hardware technology•Art•Ethnography•Community knowledge
what this means to the next 15 years?•More physical and emotive engagement with data•More connected to the environment•Greater understanding of complex systems
