“You Are Here NYC: Art, Information, and Mapping” is an exhibition of New York City maps and cartography-based artworks. The exhibition features a selection of contemporary artists, designers, and data analysts who address a question currently surfacing in the art\/design zeitgeist: in what forms can information visualization become art, and how can artists make data visible? Together the works in this exhibition, all maps of the city, show a melding of information visualization and artistic endeavor. Each piece can be placed on a continuum, with art on one end and data visualization on the other, and ranging between adjectives: ambiguous\/concrete, personal\/public, intuitive\/objective, informational\/emotional. No matter where the maps fall, their creators are communicating underlying verities\u2014whether evidence-based truths or more pliant, relative \u201ctruths\u201d\u2014about life in an endlessly fascinating and dynamic metropolis.<\/p>\n

In recent decades, increasing numbers of artists have used mapping imagery and concepts in their work\u2014and more recently, elements of data analysis. Simultaneously, geospatial analysts are grasping the importance of strong information visualization. As a hallmark of this exhibition, Pratt Manhattan Gallery commissioned three artists to create works based on a specific set of census data focused on New York City’s immigrant population. Their challenge was to combine artistic precepts, analytical skills, and cartography to provide insights about some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. The resulting works by Christine Gedeon, Ekene Ijeoma, and Doug McCune show that artists can bring much to data visualization\u2014offering inventive ways of enhancing our understanding of city life.<\/p>\n
