This special issue examines the mutual entanglements and fluid interfaces between data and embodiment by gathering papers that engage a more-than-human view of soma-data-techniques.<span style="background-image: initial; background-"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

The issue will problematize the notion of data as a driver of knowledge, a discoverable fact, a container of meaning, or a solidified agreement about what is assumed to be true about the world and embodiment. It seeks to overcome visions of data which suggest
that knowledge is something discrete and unchanging, a butterfly pinned to a board, ready for inspection. <span style="background-image: initial; background-"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

We seek papers that engage in posthuman and relational approaches to data and that understand the world and bodies to be in constant motion and exchange. We position soma-data-techniques as relational processes, methods or practices of meaning making that offer
more-than-human approaches to mediating the sensorium or ‘regime of perception.’ <span style="background-image: initial; background-"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

For example, a positivist approach to understanding the escalating problem of anthropogenic marine debris focuses on quantitative data - the counting and classifying of garbage found in and along the shores of oceans. Relational approaches, on the other hand,
might seek to understand data-bodies, human and other than human, and the entanglements of desires, incorporating the somadata of feeling, sensing, and imagining marine plastics to transform behaviors and systems. Data from this view isn't about plastic but
rather is plastic; just as our bodies are not discrete entities, but are becoming-plastic and enmeshed in relations with the ocean. <span style="background-image: initial; background-"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Through novel thinking about these and other related concepts, this special issue takes an interdisciplinary look at the soma-data-techniques of information systems, research-creation, design, culture and knowledge production with a particular focus on human
relationships to natural and built environments. We are particularly interested in papers that challenge social processes based in 'containment' views of data (such as data repositories, citizen science, open government, etc.) and papers that explore and experiment
with alternative ways of 'doing data.'<o:p></o:p></p>
