the notion of urban data |
We see our world in data. Real-time data recording, microcontrollers and sensors commonly found in our urban environment and new techniques in data processing and visual depiction techniques lead to new conceptional relationships in mapping, understanding and visualising urban scenarios. Diagramming and visualisation of information has been a fundamental tool for communicating architecture and urbanism. Advanced data visualisations and simulations hereby allow a new degree in accuray, complexity and suppossedly objectivity of data potentially diminishing the role of abstraction and the prototypical. Can infinite, algorithmic controlled processes away from finite, abstracted results shift the intellectual responsibility of the author through the filtering process of information?
