Warm data is an evolving framework for attending to complexity in our lives and the world around us. It starts from the premise that learning from systems is a creative, process-driven enquiry, an exploration of relationships, and an experiment in dialogical perspectives. Warm data activates relational, dynamic information from an experiential perspective and can lead towards emergence, engagement and transformation. Warm data helps us to understand complexity through cultivating richer stories and creative interchanges in an attempt to build understanding across disciplines and beyond.
