    Making Arguments with Data
    (Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society - The German Internet Institute, 02/2023) Savic, Selena; Martins, Yann Patrick; Herlo. Bianca; Irrgang, Daniel
    Whether we are discussing measures in order to "flatten the curve" in a pandemic or what to wear given the most recent weather forecast, we base arguments on patterns observed in data. This article presents an approach to practicing ethics when working with large datasets and designing data representations. We programmed and used web-based interfaces to sort, organize, and explore a community-run archive of radio signals. Inspired by feminist critique of technoscience and recent problematizations of digital literacy, we argue that one can navigate machine learning models in a multi-narrative manner. We hold that the main challenge to sovereignty comes from lingering forms of colonialism and extractive relationships that easily move in and out of the digital domain. Countering both narratives of techno-optimism and the universalizing critique of technology, we discuss an approach to data and networks that enables a situated critique of datafication and correlationism from within.

    Our Data Doppelgängers
    (2013) Allen, Jamie
    Data is gathered and presented towards both clarification and inspiration, but also in ways that obscure and confuse. Within creative practices that engage the technological, data plays a cen- tral role as a medium for aesthetic objects, motivating and justify- ing arguments, and even sanctioning design and policy decisions. The more frequently we engage with datasets and databases, the all-too-human nature information collection and representation comes to the fore. This article was presented as part of “The Data Body on the Dissection Table. Arts, Humanities, Medicine and Complex Network” on June 4th, Copenhagen, www.olats.org/studiolab/databody.php.
