Journey into the soul of London
R18 – Atlas of Intangibles by Priti Pandurangan
This month, we're excited to present the Atlas of Intangibles, a data experience that offers a fresh perspective on urban exploration. Conceptualised by Priti Pandurangan during her MA research at the University of the Arts London, the Atlas of Intangibles unravels the hidden narratives woven into the tapestry of a cityscape.
During innovative data walks through the streets of London, a wealth of sensory data is collected and transformed into a digital experience, where the web of wear and tear, marks, and signs that silently bear witness to the passage of time are revealed.
With customisable themes and interactive views, users can explore the city through different lenses, uncovering connections, journeys, and typologies that enrich our understanding of ‘place’. Each data point is a treasure trove of context, featuring images and audio recordings that inspire a deeper connection with our surroundings.
Whether you're an academic expert, an aspiring artist, or simply curious about the world around you, the Atlas of Intangibles is an invitation to participate in the act of mapping our shared spaces. We love that the project broadens our perception of what constitutes data by uncovering the intangible essence of a city.
Join us for London Data Week this July, where Applied Works will be hosting an engaging workshop on ‘Applying User Experience Design To Data Tools’. The Atlas of Intangibles also has an event planned ‘Mapping London Through Sensory Data Walks’. Explore the full schedule here to be part of the data exploration!
