Speaker
Description
Data sonification, the practice of representing data in the form of sound and music, is a unique and compelling method of expressing information. Sonification allows us to hear patterns in complex data, and consume information in a new and interesting way. In this workshop, participants will learn about data sonification as a concept, listen to several examples (with particular focus on the data topic of climate and energy), explore some of the existing research regarding sonification and design, and learn how to create their own data sonification compositions. Participants of this workshop will gain access to The Data Sonification Toolkit, a resource developed by Aura Walmer with support from the Reynolds Journalism Institute. This toolkit is designed to help journalists, information designers, and data enthusiasts learn about data sonification and discover how to apply it to their own work.
