Data Through Design Opening Reception: Echo(logies)
March 21 @ 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM EDT
Data Through Design is pleased to announce the opening of Echo(logies), a public exhibition of ten data-driven, interdisciplinary art projects presented in partnership with BRIC.
We invite you to join us for the opening reception on Saturday, March 21 from 6:00-8:30PM.
About the Exhibition:
Echo(logies) is the 2026 exhibition of Data Through Design, an annual data art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze, interpret, and interrogate data made available in NYC’s Open Data Portal. This exhibition is presented by DxD in partnership with and is on display at BRIC House from March 21 through April 5, 2026.
The projects in DxD 2026 work with the bodies of knowledge, or “-logies”, that reverberate through New York City’s data. They explore ecosystems and cycles of life expressed in data; the rhythms of growth, decay, renewal, and transformation as they “echo” through data, and the interplay between human and non-human worlds.
This year’s theme engages with questions such as: How can the city, and data itself, be understood as ecological and cyclical? How might data be materialized, embodied, or inscribed by natural processes? What accumulates, erodes, regenerates, lingers as traces, or resonates as echoes?
The work in this exhibition makes data felt, witnessed, or transformed—through physicalization, interaction, or by exposing how nature itself records and inscribes change. The art works engage with living systems, natural or urban ecologies, or information ecosystems, and examine materiality and craft, murmurations and flows, entropy and genesis, and the sublime scale of ecological change.
