Data objects for hasselt elections

Abstract

Design-led activism seeks to create a counter-narrative to motivate social, institutional, environmental or economic change. This `Situated Action' proposes to do design-led activism in the cities of Hasselt and Genk using Data Objects - a new type of physical and functional object whose form and function encodes data to aid decision making. A series of objects which encode data will be designed and deployed in Z33 with the support of city representatives. The intention is to support voter deliberation and decision making in the 2018 regional election.
