Data Infused showcases seven artists who use data as both a design material and a medium for creative expression. Moving beyond data visualization, these artists explore data's potential in artistic storytelling, transforming raw information into tangible art forms. By doing so, they reimagine data's role, emphasizing its cultural, social and artistic significance.  

The participating artists bridge traditional art practices such as drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpture, performance, and sound, with innovative digital techniques. These include custom code, algorithms, Artificial Intelligence (AI), CNC and laser etching, digital photography, and pen plotting. Their work is displayed through a wide array of media; including digital monitors, NFTs, murals, photography, sculptures, public art, and painted or printed surfaces. Data Infused will include a sampling of some of their artistic processes, offering audiences a deeper understanding of how data is transformed into unique creative outputs. 

The exhibition highlights the evolving role of data in art, demonstrating its capacity to shape cultural narratives, explore identity, and inspire innovative artistic practices. 

Artists: Ivan Toth Depeña, Richard Garet, Nettrice Gaskins, Ira Greenberg, John Simon Jr., collaborative art/science team Courtney Starrett and Susan Reiser, and Tiffany Trenda
