[ISEA2020] Artist Statement: Alexa Bonomo — Using Metaphor and Naturalistic Geometry to Visualize Quantified Self Data

Artist Statement n.a.

  • Alexa Bonomo (US) is a creative technologist who works in the space of data-driven design and human-computer interaction. Throughout her research at the University of California, Davis, and prior, she has focused on personal reflections as a source of data input for visualizations. Data provides a viewer clarity about their environment, and Alexa’s research investigates what makes seeing personal data meaningful and sets out to create gratifying experiences for introspection. Alexa uses creative coding and crafting datasets from personal observations and various sensors to form a visual language to tell personal stories of daily life. Alexa has shown work in various places around the San Francisco Bay Area including the Exploratorium and at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, and Kala Art Institute. Codex Endogenous is an ongoing project that Alexa intends to expand even further to be available for the use of a public audience.
