An expansive understanding of motion data rooted in bodily archives can offer a fuller understanding of the past while also demanding that we sit with the ethical problems that arise when data is seemingly detachable from its human sources: visceralhistories.wordpress.com/2024/08/27/exp… harmonybench

Proud to be a part of this monumental exhibition! Come see dance data in the wild.

Alvin Ailey exhibition at the Whitney is exceptional. It'd be worth the walk over to see 1940s-1970s era paintings by Black artists. But there's much more, including a unique project visualizing and surfacing patterns in a dataset derived from 30,000 paper records. More on that

Excited to present work in progress at the Massachusetts Historical Society Digital History Seminar with Kate Elswit on 10/30 at 5pm ET (online). Jacque Wernimont responding.
