The Aesthetics of Routine

Abstract

People that collect data about themselves are not necessarily interested on the data, but in the resulting information and how it can be used in order to learn something about them [Yau09]. This project proposes an artistic approach to the use of data from self-tracking applications. By combining an artistic perspective with an information visualization approach, we expand the frontier of the visual translation of data from self-tracking, with the goal of enabling the users to seem themselves in the artworks using their own data.
