DATA RELATIONS ARE ALL RELATIVE

Our year 12 Artmaking and Exhibiting students attended a guided tour of ACCA’s new Data Relations exhibition, which featured installation artworks exploring how data sets rule our lives.

Upon their arrival, students were asked to put on plastic shoe covers to enter the artspace which replicated the feeling of being in a medical clinic.

This excursion allowed students to consider the possibilities of creating their own immersive and participatory art spaces.

A favourite of many was Machine Listening, which involved sitting in a dark room with 360° speakers playing voice actors performing a script written by a machine learning program.
