While information science draws distinctions between 'information',
signals and data, artists from the 1960s to the present have
questioned the validity and value of such boundaries. Artists have
investigated information's materiality, in signs, records and
traces; its immateriality, in hidden codes, structures and flows;
its embodiment, in instructions, social interaction and political
agency; its overload, or uncontrollable excess, challenging utopian
notions of networked society; its potential for misinformation and
disinformation, subliminally altering our perceptions; and its
post-digital unruliness, unsettling fixed notions of history and
place. This anthology provides the first art-historical
reassessment of information-based art in relation to data
structures and exhibition curation, examining landmark exhibitions
and re-examining work by artists of the 1960s to early 1980s, from
Les Levine and N.E.Thing Co. to General Idea and Jenny Holzer.David
