How artists and institutions are reshaping culture through data and tech

This cluster tracks how museums, artists, and cultural institutions are reimagining art for a digital, data-driven era. From digital placemaking in modern museums to MASS MoCA’s “Technologies of Relation,” creators are exploring how technology changes how we gather, feel, and connect. The Harlem Fine Arts Show foregrounds “Art for Technology,” while research on “machine biographies” examines predictive identities and digital human twins. Together, these pieces highlight a shift from static collections to interactive, speculative spaces where culture, code, and community collide.
