This pictorial presents the development of a data sculpture, followed by our reflections inspired by Research through Design (RtD) and Dahlstedt's process-based model of artistic creativity. We use the notion of negotiation between concept and material representation to reflect on the ideation, design process, production, and the exhibition of “Slave Voyages” — a set of data sculptures that depicts slave traffic from Africa to the American continent. The work was initially produced as an assignment on physicalization for the Design course at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Our aim is to open discussion on material representation and negotiation in the creative process of data physicalization.

Slave Voyages：对数据雕塑的反思

这张图片展示了数据雕塑的发展，然后是我们受到设计研究 (RtD) 和 Dahlstedt 基于过程的艺术创造力模型启发的反思。我们使用概念和材料表现之间协商的概念来反思“奴隶航行”的构思、设计过程、制作和展览——一组描绘从非洲到美洲大陆的奴隶贩运的数据雕塑。该作品最初是作为里约热内卢联邦大学设计课程的物理化作业制作的。我们的目标是在数据物理化的创作过程中公开讨论材料表示和协商。
