Abstract
Although physical activity plays an important role in our lives, it has mainly been addressed from a health perspective. Our research explores a partly blank space by making visible movements present in alternative contexts, in our case - the context of designing and crafting with reclaimed materials. Our research contributes to finding and making visible movements that otherwise go unnoticed and to seeing how they can support to expand the notion of what physical activity is and where it can be found. As part of our result, we propose an explorative method directed to the design research community when in the phase of analyzing and making visible movement in empirical data.

Moving by doing: Gaining sight of and grasping movement
Although physical activity plays an important role in our lives, it has mainly been addressed from a health perspective.
