'Not Only Sleeping' Data Visualisation

Not Only Sleeping
Data Visualisation
This data visualisation is a part of the publication Not Only Sleeping, which is a starting point to explore and experiment the idea of publishing as artistic practice.
      From investigating and discussing the topic of unforeseen acts of publishing in our day-to-day lives, I drew my attention to unintentional publishing in particular, these natural acts are tiny to notice and we often did not recognise them as acts of publishing.  I identified the most unintentional acts of publishing happen during our unconscious state, can be as common as sleeping.  When we sleep, we often ignore our habits and detailed acts happening while sleeping. 
      The publication illustrates my personal experiences of sleeping and my unintentional acts of publishing during my sleep every night. Data of sleeping was collected during the experimental period by smartphone application, including the time asleep, the quality of sleeping. The sample data set is then presented in an artistic format and recreate beds in three-dimension.
