Artist Naho Matsuda, who is a researcher in the Interaction Research Studio at Goldsmiths Design, exhibited her data-poetry artwork EVERY THING EVERY TIME at this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, as part of the Future Art and Culture programme presented by British Underground and supported by Arts Council England. The work was hosted in Brush Square, Austin, from 8th to 14th of March.
Initially curated and produced in Manchester by FutureEverything, EVERY THING EVERY TIME “broadcasts poetry on a large mechanical display, urging deeper reflection on the role of data in our lives, personal privacy and our place in future cities”. The artwork processes data captured and published by ‘smart city’ technologies, consumer devices, private and public institutions, and various media, and uses this data to create poetry.
