SWISP loves to Hack

HAK.io SGM: SCIENCE GALLERY HACKING FESTIVAL 2023 

27- 28 September 2023, Science Gallery Black Box Theatre 

Can data (big data and small) be affirmatively thought of as playthings (or playmates) to inspire imaginative thinking within research? (Playmates for SWISP Lab include SentiOne, Mozilla Hubs, Graph Neo4j).

HAK 1

SWISP Lab has been working with big and small data in a three-year program of research called ‘Digital Dispositions for Learning with the Land’ in partnership with Pernix. Pernix is an industry partner who are working with us to develop an interface that allows us to gain new insights from digital datasets – either scraped from social media using AI-based social listening tool supplied by SentiOneTM. The interface is a prototype tool for creating conceptual maps using Neo4J software and Bloom.

We believe that a hackathon is a chance to work on big complex problems we’ve been thinking about in relation to Science Gallery exhibitions, and speculatively play with ideas that erupt. We often ask,

“I wonder what that data might show us about _________?” and “what if we used _______ technology to show those connections in a different way?”

Are you bringing GenAI into your HAK?
