In the first DH Potluck of the Spring 2024 semester, NYU DH joins up with Data Services for the first ever Digital Humanities Data Services Snackoff! Held on February 13, 11am-1pm, in Bobst 743, the event is part of NYU’s celebration of the International Love Data Week.
What does a DH DS Snackoff mean? As with NYU DH’s monthly DH Potlucks, we take the term to mean a bring-what-you-will to share, whether it’s a snack or a project! By joining up with Data Services, we’re hoping to inspire people to compare and contrast snacks both culinary and digital!
- Social Explorer makes “Data Snacks” which are quick data stories generated from their platform.
- You can use snacks to create visualizations like the Data Cuisine project (an oldie, but a tasty looking one)
- Recipes can be used as data like the CondeNast FoodGraph project
- Even Google has put together a fun food datavis: Rhythm of Food.
About Love Data Week

The special events will take place between February 12-16. Register and see the full schedule here: guides.nyu.edu/love-data-week.
The goal is to celebrate the possibilities of working with data; foster a community around computational and data-informed work by raising awareness; and promote the importance of data management, reproducibility, and responsible and ethical data (re)use.
