The Data Imaginary: Fears and Fantasies
Griffith University Art Museum
The Data Imaginary: Fears and Fantasies brings together artists and designers to show how creative applications of data technology are crucial for a vital, inclusive and sustainable future, all central concerns in our contemporary lives.
