Visual Culture Seminar

Abstract: We all make data by simply living our lives. Some of that data we pay attention to and painstakingly collect, other data gets generated and recorded automatically. We can learn about ourselves and others through analyzing the data. Crunching the numbers doesn't always yield the insights we are looking for, sometimes the most profound ideas come by translating the data into art.

Stephen Cartwright is an artist and a self-tracker. From the simple act of writing notes in a journal, to complex sculptures that push the boundaries of fabrication, to digital images and animations, interactive, generative and responsive projects, Cartwright's work explores the interconnectedness of people and how we interact with larger systems.
