设计信息学将数据科学与设计思想结合在一起，以进行严格的询问和推测。我们通过将理论和研究与开放性的制造和黑客攻击过程相结合，在数据与社会之间的界面上建立了一种价值意识的反思性实践。<br>人类活动不断受到数据流和智能的影响处理它，迈向以算法为媒介的社会。设计信息学问我们如何在这个世界上创建产品和服务，这些产品和服务是学习和发展的，是情境化的和人性化的。它询问有关我们应该创造什么的问题，推测我们可能正在建设的不同未来以及其背后的价值。中心前提是数据是设计的媒介：通过塑造数据，我们塑造了周围的世界。数据科学为此
Design Informatics creates a meeting point between data, culture and design. We imagine alternate futures, disrupt thinking and play with data as a material.<br><br>Our practice is experimental, speculative and critical, informed through research and industry. We create inquisitive, professional and articulate problem solvers and entrepreneurs as graduates, leading applied data driven futures with a global reach.<br><br>We play with making physical and digital artefacts and experimental data things. We build, test, hack and re-interpret what data means to society, and where design has opportunity to shape future thinking for challenge lead enquiry.<br><br>Data Informatics sits within the Institute of Design Informatics and is informed by research practice and industry partnership across Edinburgh College of Art, and School of Informatics.
