Aftermath by Data Through Design, presented by BRIC

Data Through Design (DxD) is an independent, volunteer-run collective which organizes an annual art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze, interpret and interrogate data made available on NYC Open Data, a valuable civic resource aimed at increasing information access and transparency. Each year a different theme is developed to challenge artists to surface hidden stories, patterns and connections in data, to examine its shortcomings, and to question claims to objectivity that data representations project. These novel and artistic creations harness the potential for data to enliven and deepen our understanding of life in the city. Featured projects are created by artists, activists, software engineers, graphic designers, architects, urban technologists, map-makers, and other creative practitioners; all working with the city’s open data sets. The annual exhibition is a highlight of NYC Open Data Week, a series of events produced by the Office of Data Analytics at NYC’s Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI) and BetaNYC. Data Through Design is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization through The Fund for the City of New York (FCNY) partner project program and is funded in part by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).
