Join Design Informatics students to explore their intergalactic connections of data, technology and matter.
Join students from our Institute for Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh to explore their intergalactic connections of data, technology and matter, presented through a series of creative prototypes that reflect on human (and beyond human) experiences of the future.
Students have created a series of creative responses and prototype connections between technology, data, living and non-living entities. Through this interactive exhibition, they examine limits and boundaries of our systems where bodily interfaces connect with more than human experiences, where design fiction meets science communication, and where digital, virtual and artificial merge with sustainable matters.
This is an interactive exhibition which represents circa 70 students’ work from the MSc and MA Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh.

MA/MSc Programmes
Design Informatics MA and MSc programmes focus on providing foundational skills on the integration of design thinking and data science with an emphasis on exploring the role of data-driven technologies in society and the potential of such technologies to be a social good. Students are supported to develop an ethically aware, critically reflective technical practice at the interface between data and society by combining theory and research with an open-ended process of making and hacking.
