My work is being exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art! (kinda…)
As I wrote previously, here and here, last summer I worked as Tahir Hemphill’s intern at Eyebeam. I helped him plug-in the data from the hip hop database he compiled, into the Protovis Data Visualization framework and created a few visualizations (which you can also see on my portfolio).
Tahir’s project is actually much more sophisticated than a database though. He is developing it into a tool for research and the visualizations are just a part of that. So, what I think is actually being exhibited is the idea of the project rather than the info viz stuff.
Now two of those visualizations are part of the Talk to Me exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City! The project is listed in the online catalog, so I’m just going to assume they will be there in the actual museum. I’ll have to go check it out in person when I go to Arcade next week.
Do you think I can cross out “be exhibited at the MoMA” off my to-do list?
