In an age in which we are increasingly aware of ourselves as databases, identified by social security numbers and genetic structures, it is imperative that artists actively participate in how data is shaped, organised, and disseminated. The collapse of the Berlin Wall, broken with the help of communication technologies, marked a beginning of collapse for many walls of categories. In this context, artists become information architects helping to usher in this new way of working, thinking, anticipating and helping to visualise new structures.
