Innerhalb des DIZH Public Data Labs werden vier Leuchtturmprojekte umgesetzt, die sich geographisch alle auf den Kanton Zürich beziehen. In den Leuchtturmprojekten 1–3 forscht jeweils eine Doktorandin oder ein Doktorand an einer Dissertation. Das Leuchtturmprojekt 4 wird von der ZHdK getragen und arbeitet statt mit einer Dissertation mit künstlerischen Residenzen.
Improving indicators to capture emerging forms of precarious work
This project deals with emerging forms of precarious work (e.g. platform labour, live-in labour). The goal is to identify and qualitatively assess these forms of precarious work and to propose solutions to capture them in existing indicators and taxonomies of work.

Developing multimodal indicators of well-being in green spaces
The goal of this project is to develop spatially explicit indicators of green spaces with emphasis on societal and environmental well-being. Deep learning will be used to analyse street-view images, aerial photographs and satellite images combined with existing map data. Possible indicator areas are biomass, vegetation density and plant species.

Artistic negotiation of data (processes) and indicators
There are gaps in our knowledge of society based on data and indicators. The project develops explorative art and design practices that open up new perspectives on indicators and their underlying data (processes), appropriating and publicly negotiating their gaps. In conjunction with teaching at ZHdK and UZH, artist residencies will take place at the Cantonal Statistical Office as well as interventions and exhibitions in social living spaces.
