讲者介绍：Dr. Till Nagel is a Research Professor of Visual Analytics at the Mannheim University of Applied Sciences, where he heads the Human Data Interaction Lab, which investigates new ways of supporting different target groups with interactive data representations. He is a co-editor of the book Making with Data (2023), a member of the IEEE VIS Arts Program (VISAP) Steering Committee, and an associated member of the Medical Faculty Mannheim of Heidelberg University. His interests are in information visualization, interaction design and data literacy. A major focus of his research is around the themes of urban data and mobility visualizations, and in the democratization of visualization methods. Dr. Nagel has a background in media and computer science, and received his PhD at the Human Computer Interaction group at KU Leuven. He was a visiting scholar at the MIT Senseable City Lab in Boston and Singapore, a postdoctoral fellow at the FHP Urban Complexity Lab, and a guest professor at Burg Giebichenstein University of Arts and Design Halle. He served as General Chair of the IEEE VIS Arts Program 2018 and 2019. His work has been exhibited at Venice Biennale of Architecture, Shanghai Design Exhibition, National Museum of Singapore, and featured in The Guardian, Esquire, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and many more.
讲座介绍：This lecture examines the representation of time and temporal processes in data visualization, with a focus on the intersection of human perception and physical manifestations of temporal data. It explores innovative methods for visualizing time beyond conventional means by transforming time data into tangible, physical forms.After an introduction to data physicalization, this lecture will present and discuss a selection of physicalizations from design practice and academic research, each illustrating a unique approach to represent certain aspects of temporal data. The projects have been curated from the book "Making with Data" edited by Samuel Huron, Till Nagel, Lora Oehlberg and Wesley Willet. "Making with Data" integrates perspectives from diverse disciplines such as computer science, graphic design, art, and architecture, offering a comprehensive view of the processes involved in creating physical data representations, and serves as a foundational reference for this talk.
The lecture aims to shed light on the various methods and design considerations employed in physical objects imbued with temporal data highlighting the creative potential and multidisciplinary nature of representing time in physical data forms, and showcasing the diversity in how temporal data can be interpreted and materialized.
