    A design continuum for autographic sonification
    (Design Research Society, 2026) Enge, Kajetan; Offenhuber, Dietmar ; Lenzi, Sara
    Sonification and visualization practices usually take "data" as a given, without considering the complex ways in which data is collected or the complexity of the phenomena that data represents. Autographic design is an emerging field approaching this issue by starting the design process before data collection with the phenomenon itself, treating data as a material trace rather than an abstract reference. An autographic display uses a phenomenon's self-inscription, rather than its mediation and representation in symbolic encodings. While the existing framework of autographic design has a strong relation to the visual domain, a phenomenon may also reveal itself through its sonic trace. The contributions of this paper are threefold. We extend autographic design into the sonic domain, introduce autographic sonification instruments, and propose a design continuum.

    Towards a definition of autographic sonifications: listening as an act of knowledge
    (Design Research Society, 2024) Lenzi, Sara; Ciuccarelli, Paolo; Offenhuber, Dietmar
    In recent years, sonification as a method to analyze, represent and communicate data through sound has grown significantly showing a diversity of purposes, users, and topics. In data journalism, education, art, or data monitoring, sound is used to both support and engage experts, researchers, and the general public with a broad range of scientific and social phenomena. As the field is moving towards shared design and evaluation processes, new practices seem to emerge that put the listener at the center. By analyzing recent cases from the Data Sonification Archive, the paper proposes a definition of autographic sonification as a self-encoding process in which the act of listening becomes central to making sense of complex phenomena.
