DataCosmics: Understanding subjective relationships to digital technologies through artistic practice
My research proposes DataCosmics as an auto-poetic framework for understanding subjective relationships to digital technologies through artistic practice. Tracing emergent situated networks of material and metaphorical connections between humans and technology through contemporary art and culture, and working with various methods of digital re-materialisation, including 3D printing, data weaving, and ceramic coding, the research offers a retronymic re-consideration of the value of material processes and new ways to creatively engage with computing, by strengthening implicit connections between craft and digital technologies. This research then also examines the mutually responsive interplay of the subjective technological imagination on perceived understandings of new technologies.

Interactive digital work of artist’s genome, sequence (raw data). Hand-woven fabric of artist’s genome sequence. The interactive work plays an image of a moving cloud as a screen saver. When interacted with, the work lets you scroll through 12,000 pages of my genome sequence presented as the raw data file I received from the DNA tracing service. Photography: Andrew Curtis
