Abstract
Field of Leaves is an interactive installation that depicts public contracts held in Portugal and their distribution over its five regions and two autonomous regions. The installation presents information about the public contracts available at the online portal of public procurements called Portal Basegov. The installation attempts to advocate the importance and advantages of aesthetics in first-time audience engagement, and how user interaction and hedonic qualities can heighten the user's curiosity and promote more lasting explorations with a visualization.

The Impact of a Narrative Design Strategy for Information Visualization on a Public Display
DIS '17: Proceedings of the 2017 Conference on Designing Interactive SystemsPublic displays are increasingly deployed to make civic data easily and publicly consumable. While augmenting such public visualizations with a narrative design strategy could be promising to engage a lay audience, they might perform differently on ...
3D Shadow Art Sculpture Based On Real Items
C&C '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and CognitionExisting 3D shadow sculptures could be made by 3D printing to generate shadows in 3 or more directions, but a 3D printed sculpture looks too technical and has less artistic feel. This paper develops a unique method and a new tool to create 3D shadow art ...
Beyond Skin Deep: Generative Co-Design for Aesthetic Prosthetics
CHI '23: Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThere is a trend for handcrafting bespoke prostheses that embody their wearers’ aesthetic tastes and identities. We explore how this might be extended by enabling users to co-design with algorithms. We report a design-led exploration (Figure 1) in ...
