FUZZ Volume 1: Beautiful Data
FUZZ Volume 1: Beautiful Data
Fuzz is an annual/bi-annual art publication addressing artistic production and cultural commentary in an interdisciplinary and universal scope.
In this issue, Beautiful Data, we look at data aesthetics through images and texts, exhibitions and artworks, critical essays, interviews and conversations. Through the voices of artists, curators, designers, architects and other writers, Beautiful Data addresses shifting aesthetic approaches and expressions, data manipulation for ecopolitical power agendas, digital presence and absence, speculative explorations of digital society and forms of community-building through structures of collaboration, cosmology and kindness. The ongoing pandemic has highlighted the degree to which technology has surpassed its affect, whether in terms of our communication, behavior or emotions. The only faces that we stared at, day in and out, were our flat screens, while our motion was confined to our fingers clicking away and our emotions were most likely manipulated by a surplus of temporary, digital, pleasurable data beautifully wrapped in our own desires. In this vast changing era of technology, we ask various questions around, what is beautiful data? (Kyobo Book)
