Dark Data: Opening Reception

EFA Project Space, launched in September 2008 as a program of The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, is a collaborative, cross-disciplinary arts venue founded on the belief that art is directly connected to the individuals who produce it, the communities that arise because of it, and to everyday life; and that by providing an arena for exploring these connections, we empower artists to forge new partnerships and encourage the expansion of ideas.

Jane.Dark Data explores the pervasive forms of data collection, mass-surveillance and digital hypervisibility visited upon Black life through technologies of predictive policing, data-mining algorithms, and artificial intelligence. The project seeks to situate these emergent data technologies within a broader lineage of anti-Black surveillance and quantification. Dark Data highlights a host of artistic and social practices through which Black practitioners have responded to these conditions by way of experimental archives, inventive modes of technological encryption, and gestures of digital worldmaking.Join us for the opening reception at EFA Project Space (323 W. 39th Street, 2nd Floor) on Saturday, September 11, 2021 from 4-8 pm.
