ABSTRACT
We present two sets of 'data technologies' that we have designed to collect and display local data, both derived from our engagement with a community. The first, Bull-frog, is a bespoke voting device. The second, a series of physical charts, respond to the increasing sophistication of data visualisations by making playful use of pie charts and bar graphs, reimagining them in mechanical forms that are compelling but easily readable.

Data-in-Place: Thinking through the Relations Between Data and Community
CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present findings from a year-long engagement with a street and its community. The work explores how the production and use of data is bound up with place, both in terms of physical and social geography. We detail three strands of the project. First, ...
Surfacing Small Worlds through Data-In-Place
We present findings from a five-week deployment of voting technologies in a city neighbourhood. Drawing on Marres' (2012) work on material participation and Massey's (2005) conceptualisation of space as dynamic, we designed the deployment such that the ...
StoryChat: Designing a Narrative-Based Viewer Participation Tool for Live Streaming Chatrooms
CHI '23: Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsLive streaming platforms and existing viewer participation tools enable users to interact and engage with an online community, but the anonymity and scale of chat usually result in the spread of negative comments. However, only a few existing moderation ...
