Stefanie Posavec:

As part of the People Like You research project, I was the artist-in-residence exploring data science and personalisation, investigating how the various stakeholders within a biobank perceive the ‘people behind the numbers’ who consent to their biological samples and data being used and stored for research. My focus was on the participants and researchers of the Airwave Health Monitoring Study, a cohort study and biobank based at Imperial College that’s been following the lives of 53,000 members of the police force since 2003. After interviewing Airwave’s staff and study participants, I created a detailed, drawn map of the winding journey a participant’s biosamples and data take within the study. Alongside this map I also created a series of drawings that present the various perspectives of study stakeholders (taken from their interviews) from their ‘positions’ within the Airwaves system.
