School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe is excited to announce 'Facts and Fictions in the Age of Data: Art, Technology, and Data Visualisation', an exploration at the intersection of technology, art, design and human connection.

How can we create meaningful experiences using data to explore the facts and fictions of our modern-day lives? How can a thoughtful and more personal exploration of data visualisation and storytelling provide us new ways of understanding the world around us and ourselves? In this four-week program we'll take a hands-on, creative and analytical approach to exploring these questions and more, learning data visualisation and storytelling from the ground up in a variety of conceptual, digital, and physical formats.

Well-known professionals in the field of data visualisation will lead intensive workshops over a four week period in Berlin, Germany. From concept to sketching, using various data-collection techniques, working with data-sets and crafting stories from them, we’ll provide a unique and in-depth opportunity to learn the fundamentals of this new and emerging field. Final exhibition of work to be shown in Berlin.


This is a unique opportunity to work with data while learning the ins- and outs of data visualisation and storytelling in a four-week full-time intensive program.
