DATAS – The Data and the Sovereign

Computation and automation are reshaping global political dynamics, challenging established sovereignties, and necessitating a fundamental shift in our understanding of politics. The rise of algorithmic influence on our decisions on the basis of rapidly evolving AI technologies prompts questions about preserving personal and national sovereignties in a post-surveillance information society, and the role of art in reflecting this shift.

Establishing technological sovereignty becomes essential for preserving democracy, countering the trend of individuals being treated as mere users and commodities by the extractivist tech industry. Artistic projects can raise awareness and contribute to shifts in the relationship between technology and power. The DATAS (The Data and the Sovereign) residency programme, exhibition and publication project address these challenges by exploring ways of redefining sovereignty. We invite artists to consider information technologies as integral to society, beyond mere tools, exploring topics like Blockchain, cybersocialism, and algorithmic generation of national symbols.

The program focuses on artists from Eastern Europe, addressing artists from the region and organising residencies, pop-up shows and discursive events in Czech Republic, Estonia, Slovenia and Ukraine. Results will be curated in an international group show at Rudolfinum (Prague). This regional focus is driven by the need to address under-explored issues in the region, raise awareness about digital subjects, and support the burgeoning artistic talent in a region that lacks adequate infrastructure and international exposure.

Through a broad, immersive outreach programme, we will reach at least 5.000 members of the artistic community, we will directly and actively involve at 13.600 citizens in our activities and will exploit our outreach potential of 1.25 M potential target audiences.
