Abstract / Description of output

Western industrialised societies are increasingly accustomed to imagining and constructing the world through a vision of data that prioritises economic, social, and technological enhancement for some humans - while sidelining the livingness of other-than-humans and the environment, which are vital for sustaining life on Earth. In this Alt.CHI paper, we introduce different tomato entities to help us explore new ways of looking at data. From an other-than-human perspective, we consider how a greenhouse tomato, an heirloom tomato, and a wild tomato perceive and embody data differently in the world, deriving lessons from these distinct viewpoints within the field of HCI.
