You are invited to the opening reception of the Pioneering Research Data (Data-X) Exhibition in the Sculpture Court, Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh on Friday 25 November 2016. The opening will start at 5.00pm with a drinks reception, snacks and live performances, and end at 8.00pm.
Data-X is a University of Edinburgh IS Innovation Fund initiative supported by the Data Lab and brings together PhD researchers from the arts and sciences to develop collaborative ‘installations’ which will explore data re-use and disciplinary boundaries for a lay audience.
‘Installations’ will take the form of digital sculptures, simulations, performances, soundscapes, interactive exhibits, 3D structures, machinery, visualisations.
The exhibition runs from 26 November – 6 December 2016 in the Sculpture Court, Edinburgh College of Art, Main Building and Hunter Building, 74 Lauriston Pl, Edinburgh EH3 9DF

To accompany the exhibition a symposium will be held on 1 December 2016 in the Main Lecture Theatre, Edinburgh College of Art introduced by Professor Chris Speed (Chair of Design Informatics, University of Edinburgh). PhD researchers will formally present their ‘installations’ alongside guest speakers.
