ABSTRACT Over 30 computational scientists, designers, artists, and activists collaboratively performed eight Museum of Random Memory workshops and exhibitions from 2016 to 2018. Here, we explore how the framework of ‘experimentation’ helped us analyze our own iterative development of techniques to foster critical data literacy. After sketching key aspects of experimentation across disciplines, we detail moments within where researchers tweaked, observed, tested, reflected, and tweaked again. This included changing scale, format, and cultural context; observing how people responded to digital versus analog memory-making activities; modifying prompts to evoke different conversations among participants about how future memories might be imagined or read by future archeologists; and finding creative ways to discuss and trouble ethics of data sharing. We conclude that coopting some of the techniques typical in natural science laboratories can prompt scholar activists to continuously recalibrate their processes and adjust interactions as they build pedagogical strategies for fostering critical data literacy in the public sphere.

通过实验主义的视角分析公共干预：以随机记忆博物馆为例

摘要从2016年到2018年，超过30位计算科学家，设计师，艺术家和维权人士合作举办了八场随机存储器博物馆的工作坊和展览。在这里，我们探讨了“实验”框架如何帮助我们分析自己的迭代技术发展来培养关键数据素养。在勾勒出跨学科实验的关键方面之后，我们将详细介绍研究人员进行调整，观察，测试，反映和调整的时刻。这包括不断变化的规模，形式和文化背景；观察人们对数字和模拟存储器制作活动的反应；修改提示以唤起参与者之间关于未来考古学家如何想象或阅读未来记忆的不同对话；并找到创新的方式来讨论数据共享的道德问题。
