Art Against Information: Case Studies in Data Practice
[Image: The Voice by Lisa Jevbratt 2005/2006] ABSTRACT: This paper makes a critical analysis of new media art working with data interfaces and visualisation – data practice or data art. Pursuing the distinction between information and data, it is demonstrated that data art often turns away from information in an attempt to present the data itself. In the process, data art constructs figures of data as unmediated, immanent, material and underdetermined. A critical analysis of these figures underpins reflections on the wider significance and potential of such data practices.” Art Against Information: Case Studies in Data Practice [PDF] by Mitchell Whitelaw.
