It outlines the aesthetic approach, which draws on non-Western aesthetic concepts, specifically the Yijing and Taoist cosmological principles, and discusses the development of data-based digital practices within a theoretical framework that combines traditional Taoist ideas with the digital humanities. The book also offers a critique of the Western aesthetics underpinning data visualisation, in particular the Kantian sublime, which prioritises the experience of power over the natural world viewed at a distance. Taoist philosophy, in contrast, highlights the integration of the surface of the body and the surface of nature as a Taoist body, rather than promoting an opposition of mind and body. The book then explores the transformational potential between the human body and technology, particularly in creating an aesthetic approach spanning traditional Chinese aesthetics and gesture-based technology. Representing a valuable contribution to the digital humanities, the book helps readers understand data-based artistic practices, while also bringing the ideas of traditional Chinese aesthetics to Western audiences. In addition, it will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of digital art and data visualisation seeking new models. .AestheticsHumanities—Digital librariesGraphic designAestheticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E11000Digital Humanitieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/836000Interaction Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K19030Aesthetics.Humanities—Digital libraries.Graphic design.Aesthetics.Digital Humanities.Interaction Design.001.4226Li Qiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut506902MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409986603321Embodying Data2195590UNINA
