The Radical Data Project is a research project that is also researching what it is. There is a goal. We want to imagine a data science that works for citizens and communities instead of destabilising democracies and selling us more shoes.

To work out how to do this, we look at what other projects are out there, what are the connections between them and publish our findings. We think it change involves our own interventions and it needs to work across disciplinary boundaries such as art, activism and social science, and involves designing visual metaphors for invisible, complicated software concepts.

My Digital Cultures Major critically investigated the social and cultural impacts of new digital media technologies. It combined scholarly critical depth with contemporary relevance.

My Art History Major examined a wide spectrum of media and art practices; from the canonical forms of painting to video installation, processional ritual to performance art and early prints to land art. This major is highly relevant in today’s image-saturated world as it developed my skills in understanding and interpreting visual communication, expression and innovation.
