Courtney Starrett<\/a>, graduate program director for Visualization and associate professor in the Texas A&M School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts<\/a>, will visit the University of Georgia during this month’s fall semester break to host a workshop for students on data materialization through a grant from the Southeastern Conference Faculty Travel Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program provides an opportunity for faculty members to travel to other schools in the athletics conference to share ideas, conduct research and host lectures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data materialization is a subgenre of data visualization, which serves to take data and make it accessible to people. Data materialization connects the data to a physical form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starrett will collaborate with Mary Hallam Pearse, associate professor of art, and Demi Thomloudis, associate professor of jewelry and metalwork, from Georgia\u2019s Lamar Dodd School of Art<\/a> jewelry and metalwork program. Starrett was familiar with the school after working with its study abroad program in Cortona, Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe students I\u2019m going to work with use lots of different materials,\u201d Starrett said. \u201cThey know how to make molds and fabricate things, and they often work with digital technologies. Working with a group of students with these skills and understanding of materials will be a really good way to introduce using data as one of the materials to create form.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop project will center on creating a strand of beads that represents something the maker is worried about, or \u201cworry beads,\u201d Starrett said. The idea emerged because everyone worries about something, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example, Starrett is crafting worry beads that represent rates of recycled materials. Plastic is recycled less frequently than glass and metals, she said, and she will craft beads from these materials. The size is determined by the recycling rate, so materials that are more frequently recycled \u2014 like metals \u2014 will have large beads, while plastic beads will be small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe materials are very literal in that case, but there could be some more conceptual materials based on the worry,\u201d Starrett said. \u201cStudents could make beads from unconventional materials, things that you wouldn\u2019t normally think of a bead being made out of. The scale of them also gets very interesting due to the variation of whatever dataset they have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will identify their own worries and seek out data to either support or debunk them. They will use data as percentages, which can be translated to a relative size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After conceptualization, students will work to fabricate their beads from a material representative of their worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students will continue working on the project after Starrett\u2019s departure, and the workshop will be integrated with Pearse\u2019s and Thomloudis\u2019 courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starrett will introduce the concept and how to design and generate form, creating connections between students\u2019 ideas and the materials they want to utilize. Pearse will teach the process of fabricating the beads and creating the strands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope that they get excited about using data as a material,\u201d Starrett said. \u201cI also hope they gain an understanding of the process of taking an idea and connecting it through research. They will have to dig to find data and figure out how to communicate that visually.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starrett has been working on developing a new class about data materialization, after previously teaching the concept in a theoretical capacity. The $1,500 grant from the SEC Faculty Travel Program will allow Starrett to introduce it to more students, and work closely with fellow professors at Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are some relationships already there, but it\u2019s an additional way that we can build a bridge between our schools,\u201d Starrett said. \u201cIt\u2019s collaboration versus competition, too. I think it\u2019s counter to some of what we do with athletics. We normally compete against each other, but in this case, we\u2019re going to make something together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
