- Data visualisation has become a key element for empowering users to answer and generate new questions, make sense and create narratives about specific sets of information. Digital literacy is of concern. Information Technologies are developing exponentially whilst access research is much needed. Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) use physical objects to interact with data. They can facilitate the user interaction process. This research focuses on improving access to Semantic Web knowledge bases by the Cultural Heritage (CH) sector to, then, better facilitate subaltern narratives answering the need to bridge between low digital literacy and STEM subjects through designing TUIs where participants can learn by doing, experimenting, and in their own terms. Experiments in interaction design have included: using art and printmaking to bridge the pedagogical divide; producing a TUI that uses physical objects to connect to the computer to evaluate the usability, user experience (UX) and user engagement with the data and system; Afrobits, an interactive installation about African music and the Trans-Atlantic slave trade that brought to light invisible stories hidden behind geographic epistemologies and highlighted the contribution that African cultures have had on world cultural heritage, such as popular music; and foregrounded Latin-America as the biopolitical space that enabled the integration of native cultures with African peoples. Projects were interdisciplinary and collaborative. Findings were presented in conferences and published in journals and international proceedings. This research was selected finalist and shortlisted for awards at the Europeana Research Grants Event 2016; shortlisted for best research and received a special commendation for best artistic project by the British Library Labs in 2021; and has been used in Mexico, India, Republic of Ireland and the UK for workshops and seminars to help members of the CH sector to engage and start making use of Semantic Web data.
