<< Datapoiesis uses data and Artificial Intelligence to create objects and experiences that help human beings and their societies to perceive and comprehend the complex phenomena of our globalized world, and to use these understandings to promote positive change >>
What is Datapoiesis?
DataPoiesis is the process in which data brings something into being that did not exist before.
Data Poietic Objects are objects (things, furniture, appliances… ) whose essence and character depends on Data and Computation. They are not only technical artifacts, but also cultural and existential ones, as they dive deep into contemporary culture and in human perception and understanding, creating new opportunities for social imagination.
The first Datapoietic object will be a work of art, to inspire the design and business modeling process which will bring at the creation of a startup which will create Datapoietic producs and services.
OBIETTIVO: the first datapoietic artwork
OBIETTIVO is a data-sculpture. A lamp for public illumination that emits light continuously, and that will keep doing so until extreme poverty on the planet comes to an end.
