SENSITIVE DATA - a multi-sensorial exhibition about Bucharest

Muzeul Național Tehnic "Prof. Ing. Dimitrie Leonida"

25.05.2024 - 16.06.2024

12:00 - 18:00

The exhibition explores the emotional connection between the city and its inhabitants through the artistic interpretation of data on vital topics for the city. Six digital and new media art installations serve as a bridge between information and the public in an experience that engages all the primary senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

The exhibition features six works by Dorin Cucicov, Alina Rizescu, Bogdan Ștefănescu, and Denis Flueraru. Using data on air quality, mobility, housing, sound, and food sources, the installations create a dialogue between the visitor and the city as a living entity with which we have a continuous and personal exchange of information.

Opening: Saturday, May 25, 16:00 – 22:00
National Museum of Technical History Dimitrie Leonida in Bucharest, Carol Park.
Program:
✦ 16:00 — Roundtable discussion on “Sensory Perception and Urban Experience.” Guests: Irina Meliță, Oana Năsui, Maria Duda, Andreea Sandu, Marina Batog
✦ 19:00 — Performance “Inner City” by Denis Bolborea (performer/choreographer), Alina Rizescu (visuals), and Denis Flueraru (sound design).

On Sunday, May 26, from 14:00 – 18:00, Dorin Cucicov and Alina Rizescu will conduct a masterclass for students and recent graduates from Arts and Design, Film and Theatre, Architecture, and Polytechnic faculties. This interdisciplinary masterclass will introduce participants to innovative methodologies for working with statistical data and teach them how to translate this data into digital artistic works. Through this masterclass, the team aims to encourage and inspire young artists and technology enthusiasts to discover the potential of digital art and actively contribute to the contemporary dialogue about the city and urban experience. Participation is free, with registration here: https://shorturl.at/E5XyX

Sensitive Data can be visited from May 25 to June 16 (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays), with free admission.

The exhibition is produced by 𝐨𝐟𝐧𝐨𝐰 – a new collaborative platform where the RIZI studio and tech-artist Dorin Cucicov bring together artists and specialists from various fields to translate contemporary themes into cultural experiences for the community.

Sensitive Data is part of the Neo Art Connect 2024 Annual Art and Science Exhibition. The second edition of NAC, organized by NeoArt Romania Association and Galateca Gallery, features the theme Changing Environments and takes place in 11 cities from May to July.

The exhibition is part of the Design GO! satellite events of Romanian Design Week 2024. Sensitive Data offers a transdisciplinary approach to the RDW theme Unlock the City, through the fusion of design with technology and information.
