You probably don't really want to see my photographs. But there is one thing I know how to do: I know how to program a computer. I can code. And people will tell me that 100 years ago, folks like me didn't exist, that it was impossible, that art made with data is a new thing, it's a product of our age, it's something that's really important to think of as something that's very "now." And that's true. But there is an art form that's been around for a very long time that's really about using information, abstract information, to make emotionally resonant pieces.
Quizá no quieran ver mis fotos, pero hay algo que sí sé hacer: sé programar computadoras. Sé escribir código. Hay gente que dirá que hace 100 años no existía la gente como yo, que eso era imposible, que el arte hecho con datos es algo nuevo, que es producto de nuestra era, que es muy importante verlo como algo vanguardista. Y es verdad. Pero hay una forma artística que nos acompaña desde hace mucho y que consiste en usar la información, la información abstracta, para crear obras conmovedoras.
