Workshops
How is information and data implemented in a comprehensible way?
I offer workshops for different formats - whether scientific data visualization
on the PC or analog information design with pen and paper as well as alternative media such as embroidery.
In my workshops we develop methods for visualizing data & information
and use different approaches to answer the following questions:
- What methods and rules are needed for a transparent design?
- How does visual storytelling help to show the common thread behind the data and information?
- In what way can external and internal information be reconciled?
- How is a data table set up as a basis for further analysis?
- What types of tools can be used?
The workshop can focus on the scientific requirements of information processing or offer playful approaches - whether for team building events, creative group events for children, young people and adults or for professional development - I am also happy to develop interdisciplinary approaches on request.
The workshops are designed for students of different age groups so that the basics can be understood and implemented immediately. Students and adults learn information design and data visualization for scientific requirements. Children can use various materials to communicate with the inner and outer world and learn to process information in a playful way. Individual groups receive tailored formats for different aspects.
Write to me with your request - I look forward to hearing from you!
WORKSHOP
"Analog Data Visualization and Information Design"
August 6th, 2024 - 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
WHAT
Workshop for information design using methods of analog data visualization
WHERE
Art space for autistic people in the KULT 41 cultural center in Bonn
Analog data visualization is a method of getting in touch with the outside world. For autistic people, this contact in connection with the inner world is a different challenge. In this workshop, I will show how the variety of external impressions and the amount of information can be structured and organized - and how this creates unique works of art that are as unique as the artist's perception himself.

WHAT
Easter holiday program introducing scientific data visualization and creative information design
WHERE
Museum Koenig Bonn, as part of the Alexander Koenig Society, ages 14 and up
INFO
The reproduction of data and information is as old as humanity itself. In this interdisciplinary workshop, we first look at the historical development of data visualization up to modern design. We then learn the basic rules of scientific data processing step by step and delve deeper into creative methods of information reproduction. We develop our own question on a topic from biodiversity research and then, through independent research, create our own data table as the basis for our data analysis. Finally, we design a suitable layout and design and create our own poster to present our results.
