IALH Research Fellow Charles Perin has co-authored a new design process entitled Design Process of ‘Shredded Lives’: An Illustrated Exploration. Collaborating authors include Foroozan Daneshzand and Sheelagh Carpendale. This design process was published in 2024 IEEE VIS Arts Program (VISAP).
Abstract:
This pictorial illustrates an autoethnographic exploration of the first author’s design practice for the data physicalization “Shredded Lives: A Decade of Migrant Loss.” It emphasizes the parallel development of seven design components — Interaction Mode, Technology, Data Representation, Physical Configuration & Scale, Dataset, Engagement Mode, and Spatial Experience. This flexible, non-hierarchical approach allows each of the seven design components to inform and evolve alongside the others, stemming from a desire to thoroughly explore the design space without confinement by initial restrictions. As these design components overlap and intersect, dynamic interactions occur, leading to the manifestation of design ideas.
