DxD is a yearly data art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze, interpret and interrogate data made available on NYC Open Data – a free library of public data about New York City. Each year a theme is developed to challenge artists to surface hidden stories, patterns, and connections in data; to examine its shortcomings; and to question claims to objectivity that data representations may project. These novel and artistic creations harness the potential for data to enliven and deepen our understanding of life in the city.
About the DxD 2025 Exhibition: Corpus: Bodies of Data
”Corpus” carries multiple meanings. A corpus might be a body of work, knowledge, literature, or language – the embodiment of activity, values, or beliefs. Corpus can also mean a physical body, an aggregation of organisms, a group of elements or people, or the corporeal substance of a thing.
This year, DxD asked artists to think about the concept of a corpus, or body of data, that can be physical or ephemeral. We imagine a dataset as a body of knowledge that indexes people in a community, events in a timeline, or observations in an area. But datasets are also representations of our bodies and the corpora of living things; collections of individuals, bodies of water, natural and human-made systems, the collectivity of the city. How are these bodies of knowledge born, how do they age, grow, and go through cycles – who animates them and do they expire? And, if we look closely enough, can we discern the shapes of individuals within these collectives? For DxD’s 2025 exhibition, we encouraged participating artists to consider “corpus” through its multiple meanings, such as a body, a dataset, a community, and/or an organism.
