The visible of the invisible: data art and data visualization

ABSTRACT

The relation between our perceptual senses and the technical methods of sampling material reality in digital codes allows us to access their constituent data in real time. We must learn to see the world, for the world is what we see, but what is our view of the world through data? We perceive that, in the formation of the image during its time of appearance, the diffuse is the transition to the visible, which bears the future of the image, renewing it in the real time of transmission. Artists dealing with data use a variety of methods to capture, process, and represent reality, now abstracted into binary, algorithm-driven instructions that increasingly seek to mediate our sensitive experience with reality.
