This exhibition, featuring fourteen works by ten domestic and overseas artists/groups, presents various ways in which data, as a public utility, is creatively mobilized for aesthetic production through pieces on a range of data-based topics including big data, blockchains, and AI. The exhibition title Vertiginous Data illuminates the economic and ethical aspects of data as communal utility, based on its non-neutral trait. In a time when everything, from aspects of our daily lives to national organizations, is analyzed and processed into “data,” data has come to govern not only individual lives but also social paradigms. The social impact of the digital environment serves as cause for hope but also concern regarding technologically powered visions of the future. Participating artists explore the aesthetic faculties of digital technology, discover the shortfalls of the digital environment, and identify uncontrollable chasms in their attempt to offer artistic reinterpretations. The exhibition comprises three sections: the democracy and anti-feudalism of the digital mechanism; how contemporary artists utilize data; and new propositions using digital mechanisms.
