Antennae #65 Dataism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798348126186)

Notwithstanding its significance, data presents a great deal of uncertainty. From a material standpoint, it is both real and invisible; it is something that, in the process of being understood, both shapes and renders the world. Some see it as the pinnacle of human intellect, while others regard it as nothing more than an exploitative and monitoring system.

Antennae's 'Dataism' focuses on the impact AI and other forms of data analysis and rendering have on art making, curatorial practices, and writings that center on ecocritical themes. Which applications, modalities, engagements, and manifestations can be seen as productive? How can data analysis manifest what might otherwise remain idle? How can it expand our thinking remits and ability to connect? How can it instill empathy or promote alienation?
