Ditch the spreadsheets for 60 rebellious minutes—this session blends a 20-minute crash course on hijacking data for public art with a 40-minute hands-on activity. Armed with markers and mischief, we’ll break into pairs to craft provocative data posters and crowdsource live responses from the crowd. By the end, you’ll leave with street tactics to turn cold numbers into heated conversations.
Hosted by The Data Vandals (Jen Ray & Jason Forrest)

Come by BRIC before this workshop to see the Data Through Design artwork and sit in on a panel with the 2025 artists.
Agenda for the event:
*After a short presentation (20 minutes) covering our foundational Data Vandals ideas and recent projects, we’ll invite the audience to join us in a hands-on mini-workshop (40min).
*The Data Vandals will provide a topic and the participants will then break into pairs.
*We will provide paper and markers to the participants and will help attendees formulate questions in order to collect data from the larger group.
*After 20min each pair will share their poster and everyone will vote with stickers to indicate their responses to the questions.
*Once the “data” is collected (10min), we can discuss!!
