Steve Dietz and Anthony Kiendl have curated an exhibition of artists exploring what may be the central cultural form of our time, the database. The repeating rhythms of query, retrieval and display are at the core of virtually every activity in the digital domain. Yet ironically the database― formally defined as a “collection of data, or information, that is specially organized for rapid search and retrieval”―typically remains invisible, submerged in the murky depths of code behind the interface.
Artists have explored and deployed the database in some fascinating ways, and The Database Imaginary: Memory_Archive_Database brings together the work of 12 new media artists with an accompanying essay from Steve Dietz.
how do you think this will change humanity?
