Floor Talk: Slow Data in the Age of Digital Things by Chuan Khoo

Slow data is a way of refiguring the design of digital information interfaces and interjecting against the tide of interaction brevity that mobile computing has come to expect of us.

Hear designer and academic Chuan Khoo expand on his exhibition that will consist of a series of artefacts built as a response to the following prompts: Can alternative modes of engagement with our digital data be explored, and therefore enacted in creative practice? What are the elements of a slow data practice, when looking at the highly technological fields that have to be crossed to reach the edges of a practice that leverages the same digital technologies used to produce interaction brevity? Is there a design language that can emerge from this, that allows a repositioning of digital design practice that embraces the built environment instead of augmenting it through the lens of a digital screens?
