Automation (in art) was a paradigm shift. The result is determined by a process, but unknown to the artist
before the process is complete.

#1 DATA IS NOT INFORMATION
Data needs context to be interpreted and turned to
information.

#2 DATA CALLS FOR (VISUAL) SUMMARIES
Visuals and statistics allow to make the data digestible

#4 VISUALS ARE THE MESSAGE
The way you choose to represent the data defines how people will
read it.

#6 DATA OPENS UP DIALOGUE (AND CRITICISM)
As there’s not a single unique way to interpret data, using data
means you open up to a conversation.

#7 DATA LEADS TO NEW NARRATIVE FORMS
