2. Artist in Resident, Green Papaya Art Projects, October-November, 2008, "The Invisible, Visible". I was given 8 Wednesday evenings to do whatever I wanted. I decided to use the time to do research focus data visualizaion. While most kinds of data visualization practices deal with aggregate information obtained using using various data harvesting techniques, I was interested in seeing if coherent and cogent views on the world could generated from subjective experiences quantified as data, such as those collected by psychologists in quantitative studies of human behavior. During my residency, I held three public discussions: one at the start to express my intended approach to the residency, one in the middle to discuss a particular application of data visualization to supporting initiatives to build international networks of choreographers, and one at the end to present a paper I wrote during the residency for the 5th Southeast Asian Cinemas Conference.
