Abstract
Un recurso abundante y escasamente explotado localmente. Los datos son una oportunidad de conocimiento latente; respuestas concretas ante preguntas inminentes. Sin embargo, su saturación, compleja lectura y comprensión, impide muchas veces su aprovechamiento.Y es que estamos inmersos en un contexto de sobreabundancia de información, de disímil naturaleza y procedencia, y su adecuado y eficaz procesamiento, se vuelve entonces un imperativo para diseñar, reconocer y comprender escenarios presentes y futuros.Contextos que se articulan desde la toma de decisiones informadas y cuya base esta justamente en datos que producimos a diario (conscientes o inconscientemente ) desde múltiples plataformas. Delinear estrategias para abordar, a través del propio quehacer, propuestas que consideran esta nueva realidad son un desafío que desde la academia hemos asumido, convencidos que es un espacio fértil de reflexión y discusión.El Laboratorio de Visualización de Datos, como parte de una línea investigativa de Diseño UC, se crea para abordar esta emergente materia y ponerla al servicio de la sociedad. Una plataforma académica llamada a reflexionar, cuestionar y dar respuestas a la complejidad en la que vivimos, que al mismo tiempo se conecta y navega por diferentes estadios de la disciplina, mutando desde la mera información, a la creación de conocimiento.El Laboratorio de Visualización de Datos tiene total sentido en una Unidad donde entendemos al Diseño como una disciplina creativa, productiva y reflexiva, al servicio de los demás, centrada en la interacción de ser humano y su entorno (material e inmaterial). Este foco de interés fundamenta nuestra naturaleza interdisciplinaria y humanista, promoviendo un espíritu crítico e innovador, desde una visión compleja del mundo, que contribuye a la innovación, desarrollo y beneficio social de Chile.
An abundant resource which is poorly exploited in Chile. Data constitute a latent opportunity for knowledge, offering concrete answers to immediate questions. However, saturation with data – and the complexities of reading and understanding them – often make it difficult to make good use of them.We live in a context in which there is a superabundance of information, of varying kinds and origins; effective processing is therefore an imperative need to enable us to design, recognise and understand present and future scenarios.These contexts are articulated by informed decision-making, based precisely on the data which we produce day by day (whether consciously or not) on a multitude of platforms. Defining strategies to address, through our own actions, proposals which take this new reality into account is a challenge that the academic world has assumed, in the conviction that it is a fertile space for reflection and discussion.The Data Visualisation Laboratory, as part of a line of research of the UC Design School, has been created to address this emerging subject and place it at the service of society. An academic platform in which to consider, question and respond to the complexity in which we live, and which at the same time is connected to and allows us to move through different states of the discipline, mutating from mere information to the creation of knowledge.The Data Visualisation Laboratory makes complete sense in a unit in which we understand design as a creative, productive, reflective discipline, at the service of other people, focusing on the interaction of human beings with their environment (material and immaterial). This focus of interest underpins our interdisciplinary, humanist nature, promoting a critical, innovative spirit from a complex view of the world, thus contributing to innovation, development and benefits for Chilean society.
