cairn
A tangible apparatus that enables data collection, visualization and analysis.
Cairn is a tangible apparatus that enables data collection, visualization and analysis. Designed within a community of practice of a French FabLab, Cairn first aimed at understanding the variety of practices within FabLabs. This apparatus explores tangible alternatives to questionnaires and other traditional evaluation techniques, and stresses the aesthetic and affective dimensions to create an engaging, collaborative and critical experience with data.
