This article explores the relatively underexplored potential for physicalizations to materialize qualitative data related to human experiences and knowledge domains. Our reading of “data” in this context extends from imperceptible systems and infrastructures to mental models and the phenomenological dimensions of experiences themselves. Physical objects can be regarded as a form of knowledge with which to inquire about human life, bring about improved conditions, and imagine alternative realities. Objects are made of materials, which are manipulated materials into various configurations. The materials used in the process of externalization have a profound influence on the resulting forms, and through them on how knowledge is constructed and internalized. We pay detailed attention to the characteristics of materials and how they are combined, in the context of interdisciplinary exchange. We are motivated by the need for a shared understanding of what work materials can do in the making of physicalisations. We suggest this work is useful in the analysis of physicalizations, specifically where they seek to articulate the phenomena of lived experience.
