What happens when we design for the gaps instead of filling them in?

Patrick Macasaet and Vei Tan take us into Wander Wonder, a speculative gaming world where absence isn’t a bug—it’s the whole point. Through game engines, oversized mushrooms, robobees, and climate-hacked landscapes, they’re asking: what do we miss when we only trust what’s quantifiable?

A brilliant dive into worldmaking, data politics, and why sometimes the unseen is where the real story lives. 🍄🐝🌫️

What if we could visualize the invisible? 🍄

Muskeen explores mycelium networks through collaborative drawing experiments, turning something we can’t see or fully grasp into a living visual language. 100 participants, endless interpretations, and a whole lot of letting go of control.

From hand-drawn networks to the fuzzy space between data and imagination — this piece digs into how we might understand complex natural systems through collective creativity instead of cold hard numbers.

Who’s missing from the data we see every day?

Jon Schwabish and Alice Feng dive into the gaps in our datasets—the people and communities left out of charts, surveys, and visualizations. From Native American health data to overlooked US territories, they explore why some groups get erased and what we can do to make our data more inclusive. A must-read for anyone who cares about who gets counted (and who doesn’t). 📊✨

When algorithms meet art—can machines truly care?

Johanna Einsiedler and Amanda Bennetts dive deep into the messy, personal side of health data with their N=1 study exploring rare diseases, subjective wellbeing, and whether AI can ever really understand what it means to care. Spoiler: the answers are complicated, fascinating, and beautifully visualized.

Read the full interview to discover how art and data science collide, why studying just one person might be more revolutionary than you think, and what happens when you reclaim your own body’s data from normative medical frameworks.

What if AI is forgetting architecture before we even notice?

Cas Esbach and Sandra Baggerman dive into the invisible gaps in AI training data—where vernacular buildings get left behind and design gets flattened into a loop of sameness. They’re building an open-source dataset to push back, asking: can AI learn to see beyond the glossy, the Western, the overdocumented? A must-read on what happens when the tools we trust don’t know what they’re missing. 🏛️🤖

How do you map what isn’t there? 🗺️

In this issue, Joost Grootens talks about designing atlases that expose gaps, highlight absence, and challenge the idea that maps should ever feel “complete.” From fluorescent inks to deliberate whitespace, his work makes the invisible visible—and questions what we think we know about data, borders, and truth.
