Results for DLCL 203: Data Visualization With Textiles

How does something become "data", and how can we understand our data better through visualization and physicalization? This 1-credit course will explore data creation and methods for representing that data using textiles, which have a long history as a medium for capturing data. Students will get hands-on experience with different tools at the Textile Makerspace (sewing, knitting, embroidery, spinning, weaving) and create a data physicalization final project that uses skills developed during the class.
