DataChoreographies
The exhibition was realized through an interdisciplinary collaboration initiated by Anne Julie Arnfred PhD and curator. It included researchers at the University of Southern Denmark, Catch – Center for Art, Design and Technology as well as artists Jesper Just and Honey Biba Beckerlee, creative coder Andreas Refsgaard and choreographer Simone Wierød. Graphical design was created by Johanne Aarup Hansen.
DataChoreographies focused on how the changing boundaries between humans and machines push what we understand as art, research and everyday practice. The last century we have moved from using individual, isolated computers to designing sophisticated networks of computers that collaborate together and with us also known as data choreographies. A data choreography consists of mutually dependent computers who, through their individual actions, realize larger, joint tasks.
Through a series of workshops, the subject of data choreographies was discussed and new approaches for collaborations between data science research, art & curation was explored collectively. The discussions, reflections and questions informed an exhibition of prototypes and reflections that was shown at Catch – Center for Art, Design and Technology in 2021.
The exhibition was supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.
