Numerical Existence Emergencies Book

The second edition of the exhibition Numerical Existence features artists who use data as a medium of creation to conduct a visual or critical analysis of contemporary issues. We will see visualizations that employ sophisticated technologies with large datasets, as well as works that present a critique of a data-driven society. In both cases, the act of creation carries an intention to raise awareness about the urgency of a global transition towards a more just society, one centered on the cohesion of humanity with the planet’s other inhabitants. The use of data as raw material for artistic creation reveals that the issues addressed in these works are indeed embedded in our existence. In this context, perhaps it is up to artists to recover a poetic approach capable of articulating the hidden politics within data, connecting beyond its technological dimension.
The Numerical Existence – Emergencies exhibition catalog includes a transcription of the seminar held at the exhibition's opening with the participating artists.
