Abstract
Data play a crucial role in revealing the impact of the environmental crises while projecting future scenarios that could lead to changes in consumption and production. However, traditional means of presenting data, such as infographics, pie charts, or histograms, often fall short in helping people relate to data and inspiring meaningful action. In our pictorial, we investigate how to design interactive experiences that foster embodied reflections on environmental issues while exploring different ways of engaging with data. Drawing on “The Secret Life of...”, an interactive experience that explored the problem of plastic microfibres in petroleum-based clothing in three public engagements, we propose 1) enacting collective noticing, 2) fading body boundaries, and 3) expanding human scales of perception as important considerations when designing embodied interactive experiences that emphasise the entanglements among living beings and their environments.
