From choreographed data movements to multisensory data sculptures, embodied data experiences are revolutionizing how we understand and connect with complex information. By merging design, art, and data, our speakers reveal new ways to engage with global issues—whether it’s making climate data tangible or visualizing social impact.

Lins is a choreographic designer blending dance, data representation, and human-computer interaction. As an Artist in Residence at the Maya Brin Institute for New Performance, University of Maryland, and Principal at metaLAB (at) Harvard, she explores «data embodiment»—using the body as a medium to study how scientific data can inspire human-centered, performative responses. Her talk will examine how data can be physically and kinetically experienced to boost interactivity and emotional impact.

Based in Budapest, Melinda is an artist and designer celebrated for transforming complex datasets into immersive installations and data sculptures. Pursuing her doctoral studies at the Moholy-Nagy University of Arts (MOME), she uses data physicalization to craft artworks that invite audiences to engage deeply with data. Her talk will focus on the impact of data in physical spaces and how these installations create new pathways for understanding.

Based in Europe, a Creative Lead and Technologist, Cristina pushes the boundaries of visual storytelling and sensory design. Known for collaborations with brands like Google, Chanel, and Nike, she creates interactive experiences that make data feel personal and alive. Her work explores themes like sustainability and the future of brands, blending digital and physical elements to turn complex data into memorable sensory moments.
