Form Follows Data - Iohanna Pani - Statistical Dishes

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Iohanna Pani has an interesting project that she calls Form Follows Data. I find it visually interesting. I guess you could call it info-dinnerware.

The project ”Form Follows Data” is a data sculpture project based on the exploration of the formal language of personal statistic data embedded in everyday objects. The data sources used are based on my body, my habits and my environment. The data-based objects include a set of plates with a stylized pie chart as a visualization of a blood test, and a set of glasses shaped as a column graph or a topographic map to represent the amount of coffee that I’ve been consume every morning for a week.

I wish there had been more information on Iohana’s site. I would be interested in more detail about the methods used to translate the data into her sculpture.
