Collective memory as data
- 1. Prosthetic for reflection. data viz
tools could make reflection easier, like building blocks.
- 2. Communication. They allow us to see
- urselves in the holarchy of community

How might I craft data visualization tools that serve as prosthetics for life-affjrming collective refmection and memory making?

How can we challenge the epistemologies underpinning mainstream data visualization, embracing the fuzzy and vital fmows of information in alternative epistemologies (feminist, etc.) of emotion, embodiment, intuition?

Developing a paradigm for encoding data in each conversation
The feeling -> text, figure, tension The story -> text The future -> text (categories)

...the test

the response
Nice to see responses externalized. “Now that I see it, I want to have a conversation about it.” People liked interpreting what the figures meant People were talking very personally; about the prompt but surprisingly also much more than that. It was hard for the visualization to capture the nature of the conversation, but that’s okay. People realized they all felt the same; wanted the same things in the space It was nice to have the patterns and visualizations to keep a hold of what people really thought.
“There is a conversation
- nly the people in this
room can have. Find it. ”

Next steps
Pass down the memories from this year’s cohort to the new folks coming in, Incorporate circular leadership, and Focus on data visualization paradigms that are more generative, conveying emergence Talk to archivists / community organizers / etc.
