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 invited 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… Exhibiting artists and projects: Saralee Sittigaroon + Ziyu Zhang: NYC Clock Raphaël Laude: Parcel ATM Helmuth Rosales: Emissions of a Real Fantasy: The Aftermath of Fresh Kills Sophie Westen Chien: Soil on the Move Tatiana Kalainoff: Rezoning: At What Cost?

About Data Through Design Data Through Design (DxD) is an independent, volunteer-run collective which organizes an annual art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze, interpret and interrogate data made available on , a valuable civic resource aimed at increasing information access and transparency. Each year a different theme is developed to challenge artists to surface hidden stories, patterns and connections in data, to examine its shortcomings, and to question claims to objectivity that data representations project. These novel and artistic creations harness the potential for data to enliven and deepen our understanding of life in the city. Featured projects are created by artists, activists, software engineers, graphic designers, architects, urban technologists, map-makers, and other creative practitioners; all working with the city’s open data sets. The annual exhibition is a highlight of NYC Open Data Week, a series of events produced by the Office of Data Analytics at NYC’s Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI) and BetaNYC.
