ABSTRACT
Art can reflect in depth about data (vertical) and at the same time has an aesthetical, ontological, intentional, and conscious realm (horizontal) that can communicate cross-dimensionally to the general public. In that way data can be contextualized in its being, can be made palpable and hence facilitate the communication of data into communication about data. The art exhibition of the 24th ACM MM conference will be presented at the Amsterdam Public Library (http://www.oba.nl/oba/english.html) and aims to provide art works that critically reflect on the use of data in procedural contexts. The presented art works were established in collaborations between artists and researchers that, in cases, have access to large data volumes. The presented art works make use of non-motivated and motivated functions art is valued for, as it is art in its act of resembling, expression and the presentation of the self that facilitates the representation of reality.
