Data Studio
An artistic research practice where Science and Art meet across four modes of knowledge — turning information into knowledge, and knowledge into transformation.
Conceptual Framework
The four modes
Intuitive Art — fast, associative, holistic.
The gestural and instinctive side of artistic practice.
Decisions emerge before reflection.
Analytical Art — slow, deliberate, rule-based.
The conceptual side of artistic practice.
Ideas are structured into deliberate form.
Intuitive Science — fast, experience-driven, observational.
The empirical side of scientific practice.
Data arises from direct experience.
Formal Science — slow, logical, methodological.
The rigorous side of scientific practice.
Data is managed under explicit rules.
DataTelling is how I work across the two scientific modes. My research background is in analysing system dynamics through natural proxies — indirect variables that allow us to infer what cannot be directly measured. In Data Studio, I extend this approach to creative practice itself: while I paint, draw, or design a makeup, I record the emotional, physical, and psychological states that accompany each session. These states become proxies for the inner process of creation.
Through Formal Science, I apply rigorous methods to organise and analyse this material; through Intuitive Science, I let direct observation surface what the methods alone might miss. Together, they uncover patterns, rhythms, and shifts that the finished artwork cannot reveal on its own.
Why scientific methods? Because they offer a rigorous way to work with all kinds of material — so that what is usually only felt can become visible, comparable, and understandable.
DataTelling
ArtTelling
ArtTelling is how I work across the two artistic modes. As a visual artist, I take analytical concepts, datasets, and findings and translate them into form. Colour, texture, gesture, and composition become a language for expressing what numbers and words can describe but not fully convey.
Through Intuitive Art, I let the body, the senses, and the unconscious shape the work as it emerges; through Analytical Art, I structure those expressions into deliberate compositions that can be studied and shared. A finding does not stop at the chart — it can become a painting, a makeup design, a sequence of marks that carries the analysis into a different register of understanding.
Why Artistic methods? Because they reach dimensions of experience that language and numbers cannot — making the invisible visible.
