INFORMATION (Today)

Exploring the myriad ways in which information signifies in our “post-truth” era, when data has so deeply infiltrated our daily lives—whether Instagram “likes,” COVID-19 infection rates, social-media-propelled election manipulation, carbon footprint measurement, or algorithmically driven profiling—such a show seems more urgent than ever.

INFORMATION (Today) features works by an international selection of artists loosely culled from the two generations since 1970—which is to say, born after the original INFORMATION exhibition, for whom the processing and formalizing of data is among the central tenets of their work. It includes a range of artistic positions, including recent work and new commissions in diverse media, thus presenting an overview of some of the most promising and challenging artistic practices grappling with data, technology, and information today.
