Information art

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Information art or 'informatism' is an emerging field of electronic art that synthesizes computer science, information technology, and more classical forms of art including performance, visual art, and media. Information Art often includes interaction with computers that generate artistic content based on processing large amounts of data.

Data has been illuminated using photographs, census data, micropayments, personal profiles and expressions, video clips, search engine results, network signals, and prose.[1]
