Data is ubiquitous. Everything we do in life generates data.

Data comes in many forms. It’s not always quantifiable or easy to measure.

Data is important. Understanding the data generated by various activities informs our decisions about them.

We will be covering the historical use of data within art and design, the many forms that data comes in, as well as the many ways data can be represented.
