Data has long been the property and domain of screen-based collection, archiving, processing and interaction. The emergence of new processes, functionality and ways of interacting with information is opening up several new areas of great possibility in which the data allows newfound thematic and engaging forms of immersion, as well as innovative and perception-reshaping interaction. Guest edited by Jack Ox, Jeremy Hight and Erik Champion. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/LEA/CreativeData/CreativeData.html">Find out more</a>
