In this pictorial, we present the design and making process of Data Badges as they were deployed during a one-week academic seminar. Data Badges are customizable physical conference badges that invite participants to make their own independent and personalized expressions of their academic profile by choosing and assembling a collection of predefined physical tokens on a flat wearable canvas. As our modular and intuitive design approach allows the construction to occur as a shared, collective activity, Data Badges take advantage of the creative, affective, and social values that underlie physicalization and its construction to engage participants in reflecting on personal data. Among other unexpected phenomena, we noticed how the freedom of assembly and interpretation encouraged a variety of appropriations, which expanded its intended representational space from fully representative to more resistive and provocative forms of data expression.

数据徽章：通过 DIY 可穿戴物理化制作学术档案


在这张图中，我们展示了在为期一周的学术研讨会上部署的数据徽章的设计和制作过程。数据徽章是可定制的物理会议徽章，邀请参与者通过在平面可穿戴画布上选择和组装一系列预定义的物理令牌来独立和个性化地表达其学术档案。由于我们的模块化和直观的设计方法允许构建作为共享的集体活动进行，因此数据徽章利用物理化及其构建背后的创造性、情感和社会价值来吸引参与者反思个人数据。在其他意想不到的现象中，我们注意到集会和解释的自由如何鼓励各种拨款，从而将其预期的代表性空间从完全代表性扩展到更具抵抗性和挑衅性的数据表达形式。
