Data Through Design Call for Proposals

Data Through Design (DxD) is now accepting submissions for our 2023 exhibition, Hidden in Plain Sight. We invite artists, data professionals, designers, scientists, historians, activists, coders, community organizers, policymakers, and others to submit their proposals for projects to be presented in the DxD exhibition in March of 2023. As DxD is part of NYC’s Open Data Week, submissions should make use of at least one of the City’s datasets, available through NYC Open Data.

This year’s theme is Hidden in Plain Sight. The intention of most datasets is to tell a story about the collective: they are designed, collected, and analyzed with a question about “the whole” in mind, smoothing over individualities and compacting lived experiences into a singular tale of “us.” This year we are looking for work that explores the smaller stories and voices that are hidden by this wider narrative as told by big data. We invite artists to complicate data trends and commonly held narratives, search for missing people/places/things in data, investigate anomalies and outliers, and draw back the curtain on the “invisible hands” that shape data to expose, question and engage the perspective and motives behind data collection.

Deadline for Submissions: November 15, 2022
