This digital collection of Data | Art brings together examples of artworks that use information—measured, collected, or encoded—as material to shape meaning, structure, and form. Rather than a single movement, it reflects a range of approaches rooted in rules, systems, algorithms, and databases. The site presents a growing selection of early works from the 1950s through the dawn of the digital age, each annotated to reveal how it engages with data. Visitors are invited to explore how artists have transformed information into visual, conceptual, and interactive forms, and to follow Mapping the Origins of Data | Art, an ongoing research project commissioned by the BarabásiLab.
