Designing Engaging Data in Communities.

We present two sets of 'data technologies' that we have designed to collect and display local data, both derived from our engagement with a community. The first, Bull-frog, is a bespoke voting device. The second, a series of physical charts, respond to the increasing sophistication of data visualisations by making playful use of pie charts and bar graphs, reimagining them in mechanical forms that are compelling but easily readable.
