The ODI’s Data as Culture art programme engages new and diverse audiences with work by artists who critically and materially explore data, code and network culture.
We commission internationally renowned artists to make new works, take part in exhibitions physically and online or undertake residencies at our headquarters in London, and with our cultural and corporate partners.
Our art programmes and partnerships have reached thousands of people, on and off line. Artworks have included a semi-sentient vending machine, data collection performances, photographs, networked artworks, pneumatic machines, live-coding performances and ‘stitch-hacked’ jumpers. You can browse our projects here.
We are always interested in working with new people. Calls for artist commissions are announced on an ongoing basis. Please contact us with partnership enquiries.
