I’m thrilled to bring together two institutions that shaped my work: BarabásiLab & metaLAB (at) Harvard.

On June 11–12, 2025, we’re hosting Data | Art—a conference on how data entangles with artistic, scientific & curatorial practices.

We already have a stellar lineup of speakers! More soon: https://data-art.info/

#DataArt #BarabasiLab #metaLAB #ArtAndData #Conference

DATA | ART

Data | Art explores the entanglements of data and artistic, scientific, and curatorial practices as a critical examination of how data configures aesthetic, social, and epistemic structures.

**Call for papers / artworks / performances**: https://xcoax.org/

xCoAx explores the intersection where computational tools and media meet art and culture in the form of a multi-disciplinary enquiry on aesthetics, computation, communication and the elusive X factor that connects and affects them all.

The 12th Conference on Computation, Communication, Aesthetics & X will take place from 10–12 July at Fabrica, Treviso, Italy.
Call closes Jan. 31.

Artificial Worldviews

How will »prompting« change the way we experience the world? Artificial Worldviews inquired GPT-3.5 about its knowledge of the world in 1.764 prompts and mapped out the results.

I had 1764 conversations with GPT-3.5 about its knowledge and mapped out the results: https://artificial-worldviews.kimalbrecht.com

From my preliminary findings I am wondering: Does ChatGPT Dream of the Climate Crisis? #ChatGPT

The way this map is designed and each street mural is "pinned" into the "Black Lives Matter Street Mural Map" project by @[email protected] makes me want to click them all (and then you see the actual street art and other info)

Black Lives Matter Mural Map

The Black Lives Matter Street Mural Map documents and visualizes street murals with the goal of understanding these artworks and their viral spread, showcasing (especially black) artists, and holding communities accountable for change beyond paint on pavement.

@bengrosser glad to see you here! The metrification on here is better, I think. So I am looking to forward hearing about your thoughts regarding the platform.

@kristinHenry I just wanted to say that I am delighted about these two rules:

6. ATTRIBUTION: Try your best to attribute the creators of images you share. Due to the ongoing ethical concerns over use of artists' work to train AI text-to-image models, we do not allow the sharing of AI generated images

7. NFTs: ... However, on vis.social we’ve made the decision that we don’t want to be involved in NFTs. So we’d love to see your art, but we ask that you don’t post your NFTs here.

#Introduction: Over the past 10 years, I have been visualizing #data from abstract mathematical concepts, #social constructs, #cultural phenomena, #historical settings to imaginations of the #universe. My background is in #graphicdesign and #interface #design. For the past 5 years I am a principal researcher at the #metaLAB #Harvard and in 2021 I finished my #PhD in #Mediatheory, #Philosophy at Potsdam University. Since last year I am building up a new metaLAB at the Free University in Berlin.
