Data | Art symposium explores the entanglements of data and artistic, scientific, and curatorial practices as a critical examination of how data configures aesthetic, social, and epistemic structures.
Bringing together artists, curators, scientists, designers, and technologists, this symposium examines the material, political, and poetic dimensions of data in contemporary art and curatorial strategies. Hosted by BarabásiLab and metaLAB, Data | Art is a space for exchange and reflection on the ways in which data is collected, interpreted, and mobilized - shaping not only images and narratives, but also institutions, disciplines, and lived realities.At a time when data permeates every aspect of life—from structuring knowledge to informing AI—Data | Art asks: How does data not only represent reality, but also produce it? What artistic and institutional strategies are emerging in response to its influence? And how can we engage with data artistically, critically, poetically, and politically?
