Diversions

As part of our Wellcome Trust Medical Humanities Collaborative award, People Like You: contemporary figures of personalisation, Stefanie Posavec worked as an artist-in-residence, exploring data science and personalisation through visualisation of the Airwave Health Monitoring Study. People Like You is an online conversation about Stefanie's visualisation of the Airwave study and how work like hers can be useful for cohorts and biobanks.

Working with the full support of the Airwave team, Stefanie created a detailed, drawn map of the journey taken by the samples and data. These participants' gifts to the Study are ultimately fragmented into data points that travel through various digital and physical locations in order to analyse, prepare, and preserve these elements for future research.

The outcome is Data Murmurations: Points in flight, which we hope you find interesting. Here's a sample of her creation, which is called System Map.
