Abstract Today, data analysis, digital technology and design objects are used for measuring, understanding, augmenting, surveilling, and controlling the body. As a consequence, data‐driven technologies are continuously asking us to renegotiate our conceptions of and practices with bodies. Participants in this salon discussed current technology designs, and practices around them, to capture and augment bodily modes of intelligence. How should we bridge representations based on data, on one hand, and lived experiences, on the other, when it comes to something so intimate as the body and its sensed phenomenology? What is – and what should be – the role of ethnography and design thinking in the current reformulation of lived, measured, and represented bodies?
Weller et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
