Jen Lowe is an American data scientist and professor at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).[1] Lowe has also researched at Columbia University's Spatial Information Design Laboratory, as well as co-founding the School for Poetic Computation in New York.[1][2] She is a member of the collective Deep Lab.[3][4]

Lowe's work is primarily focused on human interactions with data technology, most notably her One Human Heartbeat project that visualizes Lowe's own heartbeat. Lowe currently lives in New York.[5]

Notable work[edit]

  • One Human Heartbeat, a project in which Lowe visualized her heartbeat in semi- real time. The data was on a 24-hour delay to allow for data upload, but it played in real time.[1][6] The piece was described as "hopeful."[7]
  • Wind Flow[8]
  • Guayupia, a collaboration with Patricio González Vivo. The two created a map of their son's genealogy and heritage, flipping the typical direction of maps so South was at the top.[9][10]
  • The Library Project, a collaboration between Laura Kurgan and the Spatial Information Design Lab, and visualization designers Annelie Berner and Derek Watkins.[11][12]

Published work[edit]

  • The Book of Shaders[13]
  • Two-Component Horizontal Aerosol Motion Vectors in the Atmospheric Surface Layer from a Cross-Correlation Algorithm Applied to Scanning Elastic Backscatter Lidar Data[14]
  • Clearing Space[5]
