In collaboration with Nature, I investigated the impact of the Trump administration on US science one year after its return to office. More than 7800 research grants were cancelled or frozen, affecting ~25000 scientists and research staff and resulting in an ~US$32 billion in lost research funding.
Our data art symposium starts tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing many familiar faces. If you can’t join in person, tune into the livestream: Day 1: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/218ca4... Day 2: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/377dbd... Looking forward!
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 have a stellar lineup of speakers! More soon: data-art.info
Join us for “The Self as a Data Trace”, a workshop with @kimay.bsky.social on March 8 Can art reclaim the story of our digital selves? This is the first of 3 workshops leading up to an exhibition, ATTENTION IS ALL I NEED, I’m curating with OnCurating x HEK Basel.
I’ll be speaking at two events tonight at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences about data metamorphosis. Looking forward to some engaging discussions and seeing familiar faces. 21:00 - Rotunde salon.bbaw.de/raeume/rotun... 22:00 - Konferenzraum 2 salon.bbaw.de/raeume/konfe...

For me, 2024 added another dimension to understanding the power of mapping. While Donald Trump credits a chart for "saving his life," in Germany, the FDP's collapse is framed by a self-made pyramid diagram. Ref.: www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/u... | de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:D... | 📊

#Introduction: Over the past decade, I have been visualizing data from mathematical concepts, social constructs, cultural phenomena, historical settings to imaginations of the universe. I am a professor at the Film University Babelsberg and principal at the metaLAB Harvard and FU Berlin. 📊
