RTD2015 23 Data Tourism

We invite the visitors to RTD 2015 to come on
a walking tour with us. Our ‘tourists’ will be given a recent research device developed by our studio, and asked to try it out together. The ‘artefact’ at stake here is not the device, but the walking tour itself. We suggest that, by trying our devices live and in situ, the tour will supplement other means of dissemination such as publications or exhibitions. This will both allow participants to better understand our field trial methodology, and to experience for themselves a design they might otherwise only encounter in a conference presentation, article, or exhibition.
