The prevalence of IoT embedded products has made data capture near impossible to escape. With the omnipresence of data mining, the question of how we design data collection becomes increasingly important and difficult to address. Previous research in embodied interaction design suggests the body is vital in creating conscious meaning. The Embodied Data project presented in this paper explores embodiment and data currency as possibilities for reclaiming ownership of our data bodies. The paper proposes that engaging the soma can support conscious awareness during data collection practices, creating an increased sense of agency.
