Jen Lowe is an American data scientist and professor at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).^[1] Lowe has also researched at Columbia University's Spatial Information Design Laboratory, as well as co-founding the School for Poetic Computation in New York.^[1][2] She is a member of the collective Deep Lab.^[3][4]

Lowe's work is primarily focused on human interactions with data technology, most notably her One Human Heartbeat project that visualizes Lowe's own heartbeat. Lowe currently lives in New York.^[5]

Notable work

• One Human Heartbeat, a project in which Lowe visualized her heartbeat in semi- real time. The data was on a 24-hour delay to allow for data upload, but it played in real time.^[1][6] The piece was described as "hopeful."^[7]
• Wind Flow^[8]
• Guayupia, a collaboration with Patricio González Vivo. The two created a map of their son's genealogy and heritage, flipping the typical direction of maps so South was at the top.^[9][10]
• The Library Project, a collaboration between Laura Kurgan and the Spatial Information Design Lab, and visualization designers Annelie Berner and Derek Watkins.^[11][12]

Published work

• The Book of Shaders^[13]
• Two-Component Horizontal Aerosol Motion Vectors in the Atmospheric Surface Layer from a Cross-Correlation Algorithm Applied to Scanning Elastic Backscatter Lidar Data^[14]
• Clearing Space^[5]
