Data + Art
If you’re in the Los Angeles area, or will be visiting between now and April 12, here’s an enriching experience you’ll want to check out.
Dan Goods and David Delgado—designers and educators at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Vine alumni, I might add—have curated a fascinating exhibit at the Pasadena Museum of California Art titled Data + Art: Science and Art in the Age of Information.
The exhibit, which is on display through April 12, explores the hidden stories revealed in data through emerging forms of data expression. The artists describe it this way: “This exhibition challenges viewer’s assumptions by exploring the beauty inherent in data and asks them to see complexity in a new light. These interpretations of data will empower the average person to see the invisible, hear the inaudible and understand the impossibly complex.” (Does that mean they’ve unraveled the makeup of CDOs?)
See reviews in the Los Angeles Times and Boston Globe.
If you’re interested in viewing the exhibit, here’s info about directions, parking and museum hours.
If you’d like to take it a step further and attend a discussion/Q&A led by the artists, send me an email. With enough responses, we may be able to arrange a private event.
Hope you’re able to experience it.
