摘要

Environmental data has been dominated by empirical and quantifiable metrics, often overshadowing the profound narratives and experiences that define our personal relationship with Nature. This research aims to question and redefine this approach, placing value on cultural knowledge as an information source and addressing ecological complexity. This project seeks to answer: How can alternative data-gathering methods redefine individual and collective narratives of Nature? “Nebulous Narratives” progresses through four interconnected stages: Alternative Data Gathering, Redefinition, Encoding Imaginaries, and Outcome. Central to its methodology is the exploration of unconventional data points through a research-based art approach. Three participatory workshops were conducted, with the aim to gather new knowledge about environmental data. These instances used creative interventions and collective art to question traditional data collection methods and redefine our relationship with Nature. The results of these workshops showcase the intrinsic entanglement individuals have in relation to Nature, their memories, cultural identity, and lived experience. This research seeks to contribute with an unconventional dataset comprising data stories and creative interventions, that serves as a departure from conventional empirical approaches and aim is to reimagine the role of data in shaping our interactions with the natural world.
