Hot Data April 2024 - September 2024

Hot Data is a design research project by anthropologist April Barrett developed during her residency as part of the Design Researchers in Residence programme at the London Design Design Museum, which explored the theme of Solar and climate crisis interventions. April invited Cally Gatehouse and I to help materilise the findings of the project for public display. Amoung a set of speculative objects, we created a digital heating device called the Data Do-Nothing Machine (after Eames) to interactively demonstrate the work and consequent heat of online activity and data centres.
