What do you want to make?

  • I want to research about digital data and its structure (how is it stored / transferred / displayed?).
  • With a focus on the implications of data on visual culture. (The form of data??) (Making databases as art / idea of instructions as art & design)
  • How does the form of the database get visible?
  • How does the database interact with the outside world? (Influences)

How do you plan to make it?

  • Through research / reading & writing about data & visual culture
  • Experiments going along with the research that will accumulate to one final work

What is your timetable?

1. Gather material (Literature / References)

2. Read

3. Write

4. Do –

Why do you want to make it?

  • It is a logical continuation of my personal interest / work / research
  • It is a contemporary issue (thinking of technologies like blockchain / machine learning … that use this kind of structures as their fundamentals)

Who can help you and how?

Relation to previous practice

  • I did previous research on data and how it converts into narrative
  • I worked on collections of data
  • I printed databases
  • I develop software / am interested in the digital culture / computation


Relation to a larger context

  • Data is everywhere

References

  • »Raw data« is an oxymoron
  • Database Aesthetics
  • Database as Symbolic Form
  • Essays on the culture of software

Ideas

  • The image as a database / array of pixels (except vectorfiles)
  • Is there a file format that works in a different way?
