Warm Data Lab at Biovilla, Palmela

How can we think of ways to move beyond the confusion we are in, when the way we think is part of the confusion?” – Nora Bateson

Join us for the second Warm Data Lab at Biovilla, where we will explore the connections and differences that shape our lives, the places we inhabit, and the socio-economic structures that affect us. In a time when we face complex challenges, we will create spaces for change through meaningful conversations and unexpected discoveries.

What is a Warm Data Lab?
Warm Data is a concept developed by Nora Bateson to describe information that captures the complexity and interconnectedness of living systems. Unlike “cold data,” which is quantitative and isolated, warm data emphasizes patterns of relationships and the context in which things occur.

Warm Data Labs are spaces for collective experimentation, where groups explore complex issues without reducing them to simplified answers. Through multiple perspectives and interactive dynamics, participants learn together, perceiving the interconnections between different areas – such as ecology, culture, technology, or politics, among others.

These “labs” foster more systemic and creative thinking, helping to create new forms of understanding and collaboration. Instead of seeking closed or correct conclusions, they expand participants’ awareness of the complexity of contemporary challenges, making them more sensitive to the relationships and influences shaping the world around them.
