C°F Experiments: Learning and Growing Through Experimentation
CLEVER°FRANKE’s self-initiated projects and the value of experimentation
Play prototype
Created by multiple contributorsi
The Things Network generates vast technical data that's often hard to access or understand. This project explores how interactive storytelling can make that data more engaging and meaningful.
Background
The Things Network is a community driven open platform that offers a new protocol to build Internet of Things applications. In this project, we aimed to make the data collected by The Things Network more transparent through interactive storytelling.
What did we learn?
The data was available in such a dry form; hundreds of excel sheets which were very difficult to go through. The challenge was to open it up and make this highly technical data set come alive.
Ambitions
Many global networks that work with infrastructural data do not have the intention to make their data sets transparent through design or storytelling. This experiment opens up the possibility to make use of these creative techniques for organizations that are heavily focused on technical details of their data.
