American data scientist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jen Lowe is an American data scientist and professor at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).[1] Lowe has also researched at Columbia University's Spatial Information Design Laboratory, as well as co-founding the School for Poetic Computation in New York.[1][2] She is a member of the collective Deep Lab.[3][4]
Lowe's work is primarily focused on human interactions with data technology, most notably her One Human Heartbeat project that visualizes Lowe's own heartbeat. Lowe currently lives in New York.[5]
Notable work
- One Human Heartbeat, a project in which Lowe visualized her heartbeat in semi- real time. The data was on a 24-hour delay to allow for data upload, but it played in real time.[1][6] The piece was described as "hopeful."[7]
- Wind Flow[8]
- Guayupia, a collaboration with Patricio González Vivo. The two created a map of their son's genealogy and heritage, flipping the typical direction of maps so South was at the top.[9][10]
- The Library Project, a collaboration between Laura Kurgan and the Spatial Information Design Lab, and visualization designers Annelie Berner and Derek Watkins.[11][12]
