As part of the SIT-PLU (Situated Creative Practices for the Pluriverse) project, funded by the Creative Europe programme, NEBULA Laboratory researchers Anna Pujadas and Mar Saiz developed a Situated Infographics workshop in February 2026. The initiative explored visual representation as a tool for situated research, capable of incorporating bodily experience, relationships, affects and memory.
In this laboratory, participants were invited to explore the territory once again. Over the course of a week, students collected sounds, movements, encounters, objects and sensations, not as abstract or quantifiable data, but as lived experience. Walking became a form of observation and active listening, in which the body functioned as a sensitive instrument and the environment responded to its presence, shaping a mode of inquiry rooted in context.
The observations were transformed into creative infographics that translated fleeting experiences, sensory perceptions and affective memories into tangible visual compositions. Unlike conventional infographics, which are based on previously collected and organised data, situated infographics emerge from direct contact with the world. Rather than seeking to offer a neutral or all-encompassing representation, they aim to make visible relationships, intensities and atmospheres that often escape conventional systems of representation.
The laboratory explored how walking, observing and designing become complementary practices for imagining alternative ways of understanding and representing the territory, in which subjectivity, relationships and care also form part of the knowledge produced.
