Data Art Gallery

Data art (or data-driven art) lies somewhere between data visualisation and generative art. Where data visualisation aims to accurately represent data to communicate insights, generative art uses algorithms to create unique visuals which often incorporate randomness or predefined rules. Like generative art, the primary aim of data art is artistic impact, rather clarity or analysis. Data art may in fact be though of as a sub-genre of generative art. It allows people to consider visual patterns in data without the bias of knowing what the data is, and can spark conversations on important topics. This gallery displays a variety of data art examples, built with a range of open source tools.
