Data Through Design
Call for Proposals

Data Through Design (DxD) is now accepting proposals for our 2024 exhibition, Aftermath. We invite artists, data professionals, designers, scientists, historians, activists, coders, policymakers, and other creative professionals to submit their proposals for projects to be presented in the DxD exhibition in March of 2024 as part of New York City’s Open Data Week.

Our 2024 exhibition theme is Aftermath.

We live in a perpetual state of aftermath. The data we collect today represent reverberations of past events; edited, interpreted, and distilled to tell a story of history. Data drives our narratives and shapes not only the future but also our vision of the future — a narrative of us and where we expect to be. Who is telling that story, and how does the aftermath of events shape how it’s told?

This year, we invite artists to explore how data reflects (and does not reflect) these lived aftermaths and to interpret the idea of aftermath through data. How does data define and organize time and space in our articulations about the world? How has the past molded our present and how will we sustain our future? Will we drown in a flood of information or make meaning from the mess…?
