This exhibition is the outcome of an interdisciplinary project led by Dr Andrea Kocsis, in collaboration with researcher and multimedia artist Dorsey Kaufmann. Together, they assembled a team of archivists and librarians from the National Library of Scotland along with visualization developer Parker Kaufmann (who just launched their studio Feeling Data), and a team of Informatics MSc (Master of Science) students to explore novel computational and creative visualization techniques that enable public engagement with web archives.

Using exploratory visualization and interation techniques, the works on display, students’ work alongside a commissioned centerpiece by Kaufmann, seek to uncover insights within the data and craft compelling visual narratives to engage wider audiences in the cultural significance of past, present and future web archives.
