Corpus: Bodies of Data
DxD 2025 Open Call: Deadline! Nov. 4, 2024
Overview:
DxD presents work in a wide range of media and formats such as digital, analog, physical, performance, sound works, walks, installations, creative coding, participatory mapping, drawings, etc. We welcome proposals that expand beyond the gallery walls and will support projects that occur in public spaces and in unconventional formats. Please see some samples of past exhibitions.
Artists are expected to reference or use at least one NYC Open Data dataset in their project. Other data, including data derived from novel and experimental collection systems, are welcome (in conjunction with the use of NYC Open Data data). We’re interested in participatory data collection; in radical and cognitive mapping; in data that is represented or experienced through time, sound, and other senses.
Stipend: DxD will provide a $900 stipend for project fabrication, as well as installation and promotional support to each project artist or artist team. Please note: applicants must be approved to work in the US in order to be paid a stipend.
Exhibition dates: March 21 – April 6, 2025
Location: BRIC Arts Space, 647 Fulton St, Brooklyn
Proposal submission date: November 4, 2024
Data Through Design is committed to supporting a diverse range of voices and perspectives. We encourage submissions from a wide range of artists, civic technologists, data enthusiasts, city dwellers, and creative practitioners in all formats.
