#ownyourdataset is the adventurous act of creating entirely new data rather than just working with what exists. Artists can generate fresh images, sounds, or texts that represent their vision and maintain their authorship, produce novel experimental data that captures otherwise ignored phenomena, develop new methods of patterning that push conventional boundaries. This isn’t about organizing existing data—it’s about revealing new information, expanding what’s possible, allowing for emergence of the new so that culture can evolve and grow rather than circle back on itself.
