“…While initially the idea of data physicalization and VizBlocks were not aligned with Civic Digits' vision for their workshops, they decided it would be worthwhile to explore the creative potential of the modular components that the school pupils could stick/attach different materials to, which could then be animated in some way. This was of interest to the academic researchers as a way to explore how VizBlocks might be used in practice, but also given our wider empirical interests in how creative practice might be used as a resource for digital fluency (e.g., in line with [4,10,11]). We thus proceeded to explore ideas together through an open-ended and initially informal collaboration.…”

In this case study, we document the process of engaging in an initially unplanned and informal knowledge exchange activity between academic researchers and a local performing arts company. This knowledge exchange activity quickly became a fruitful collaboration during which an academic design research prototype was reimagined as a wholly new product to expand the offering of a creative business. We document the factors that led to the success of this collaboration, reflecting on both features of the collaboration itself and how the design of the initial research prototype configured its repurposing. In terms of the latter, we consider how the original prototype's ambiguity, open-endedness, customisability and flexible assembly afforded its reimagining. Through the case study, we demonstrate that there is much to be gained from facilitating Permission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.
