Art & Design lecturer Dr. Simone Gumtau, and Prof. David Brown and Dr. Edward Smart from the Centre of Intelligent Data Solutions, all part of the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries.   “The exhibition seeks to explore the human embodied experience in a world of data. All three creative contributors to this exhibition were working with the same live industrial data sample provided by the Centre of Intelligent Data Solutions (CIDS). A set of instructions, akin to an algorithm, determined the rules as to how these skilled individuals responded to the data sample. This process allowed a mapping of the data into different material forms – animated shapes, vibration and textile art. Some patterns may be perceivable across the different media, although they may not. It is expected that the results will have considerable variation, highlighting the individual human experience in producing and consuming these works.”
