The Materiality of Data Panel

April 29 | 12:00-1:30 p.m. | Memorial Library 224

It’s easy to think of data as something that lives in spreadsheets, but it rarely starts — or ends — there. Join four innovative UW–Madison faculty who work in the space where the affordances of the digital meets the demands of the physical: digitizing thousand-year-old manuscripts, building knowledge graphs for regional food systems, studying how scientific visuals move public opinion, and uncovering the information embedded in everyday objects. Together, they ask: what does the relationship between data and the physical world reveal about both? The conversation will be a rich opportunity to connect with innovative colleagues and will cap off our semester.
