SUMMARY:Festival Keynote: Rahul Bhargava on Community Data
DESCRIPTION:Join the CUNY Graduate Center for a pre-Open Data Week keynote featuring Rahul Bhargava\, the author of Community Data. Presented by the Masters in Data Analysis and Visualization and the Masters in Digital Humanities programs. \nDatafication has driven the adoption of new quantified processes in civic contexts\, but our tools and methods haven’t adapted to be more participatory and empowering. The traditional toolbox of surveys\, spreadsheets\, and charts wasn’t designed for community settings. Artists\, planners\, designers\, non-profits\, journalists\, and others are pushing the boundaries of data representation in order to meet audiences where they are with impactful multi-sensory data stories. Physical data sculptures\, embodied data theatre\, participatory data murals\, data sonification performance—these are the new practices we need to cultivate in order to engage larger groups of people around data in community settings. Join us to explore how we can hear\, feel\, smell\, and taste our data to create more inclusive data experiences. \nThis event will now be held in room C201/202/203 on the Concourse level of the Graduate Center. Attendees should come in through the main entrance and take the elevator down to the C level.

SUMMARY:Keeping It Urban: Art\, Tech\, Collective
DESCRIPTION:Keeping It Urban is a one-day summit\, kicking off NYC Open Data Week on Friday\, March 20th at Cornell Tech. It’s an ode to the diversity and abundance of technology and culture born only from the density of NYC. \nThis event was born from frustration with the top-down silos we kept seeing: urban tech talks that center on infrastructure and zoning\, and AI conversations entirely removed from the people and becoming doomsday narratives. None of it actually acknowledges the creative artists\, open-sourced solutions\, or the human flourishing that drives the true economic engine of NYC! \nSo\, we’ve curated a full day of 3 stacked panels\, 4+ artist showcases\, and 5+ startup pitches featuring Streetlife Ventures\, Spotify\, MIT Media Lab\, New York City Council\, Sidewalk Labs (Part of Google)\, Everywhere Ventures\, Fauna Robotics\, Backslash Artists\, and more. \nCelebrating the playful\, inventive tech being built right now and right here at Cornell Tech & New York City! \nTickets on Luma. More info keepingiturban.com.  \nThis event will be held at the Tata Innovation Center\, Studio 141\, 11 E Loop Rd\, New York\, NY 10044.

SUMMARY:Echo{logies}\, Data Through Design Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Echo{logies} is the 2026 exhibition of Data Through Design\, an independent collective who organize an annual art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze\, interpret\, and interrogate data made available on NYC Open Data. \nVisiting the Exhibition\nThe exhibition is open to the public daily from 12pm to 7 pm during Open Data Week. On March 21\, we will host an opening event that requires RSVP. \nWhen: March 21 – April 5\, 2026\, 12:00pm – 7:00pm \nWhere: BRIC\, 647 Fulton Street (at Rockwell Place)\, Brooklyn\, NY 11217 \nOpening Event: Saturday\, March 21\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM; RSVP. \nAbout Echo{logies}\nThe projects in Echo{logies} work with the bodies of knowledge\, or “-logies”\, that reverberate through New York City’s data. They explore ecosystems and cycles of life expressed in data; the rhythms of growth\, decay\, renewal\, and transformation as they “echo” through data\, and the interplay between human and non-human worlds. \nThis year’s theme engages with questions such as: How can the city\, and data itself\, be understood as ecological and cyclical? How might data be materialized\, embodied\, or inscribed by natural processes? What accumulates\, erodes\, regenerates\, lingers as traces\, or resonates as echoes? \nThe work in this exhibition makes data felt\, witnessed\, or transformed—through physicalization\, interaction\, or by exposing how nature itself records and inscribes change. The artworks engage with living systems\, natural or urban ecologies\, or information ecosystems\, and examine materiality and craft\, murmurations and flows\, entropy and genesis\, and the sublime scale of ecological change. \n\nDesire Paths: Becca Ellsworth & Becca Odell\nHartLine: Ian Callender & Karla Rothstein\nLandscape Workshop: Mark Heller & Mariel Collard Arias\nLinger Loiter: Charlotte Gartenberg & Ivan Himanen\nMetropolitan Cuneiform: Jingrong Zhang\nThe Oracle of Gotham: Karissa Whiting & Elizabeth Costa\nTurnstile Murmurations: Trpti Sanghvi\nUrban Data Orchestra: Composing the Hidden Rhythms of the City: Elina Oikonomaki & Lukas Lesina Debiasi\nWaste Rhythms: Living Records of NYC Communities: HaoChe Hung & Tianxing (Vincent) Zhu\nWild Lots: Craig Fahner & al haley\n\nEcho{logies} is organized and curated by the 2026 Data Through Design team: Julia Bloom\, Tereza Chanaki\, Rachel Daniell\, Jack Darcey\, Sara Eichner\, Justin Roberts\, and Can Sucuoğlu.

SUMMARY:Queens & Me: Neighborhood Stories Beyond the Data
DESCRIPTION:What’s your Queens story? Join Kelly Jean Fitzsimmons and other No\, YOU Tell It! producers to discover the personal stories behind the public places we share. Participants will use writing prompts to interact with the Queens Name Explorer\, an interactive digital map developed by Queens Memory and Urban Archive\, alongside data gathered from numerous New York City and State sources. Together\, we will learn the historical significance behind the people’s names that grace Queens streets\, parks\, monuments\, and more\, including luminaries who will be honored at the Women’s History Month exhibition on view at Culture Lab LIC\, where this workshop will be held. \nParticipants will explore their place in Queens through a series of written and visual prompts\, including a scavenger hunt through the exhibition to engage with the personal stories of these historic Queens women. The program will culminate in a story-sharing activity that invites participants to pick a point on the map and trade tales of their experiences on that spot to enrich local history with our shared and unique stories. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Stitching the Borough: Embroidering Meaning Through Open Data
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Astrid Malter at BRIC for an introductory embroidery workshop and create your own meaningful map using NYC’s Open Data. In the first half of this workshop\, Astrid will give a presentation on her methods and the data behind her hand-stitched map of Brooklyn that compares the location of MTA bus stop shelters to the Heat Vulnerability Index. The second half of the workshop will give participants time to learn basic embroidery techniques and explore making art with a public dataset of their choosing. \nThis event is open to beginners and all embroidery materials will be provided. If possible\, participants should bring a phone\, tablet\, or computer to access public datasets.

SUMMARY:A Treasure Hunt through NYC Open Data
DESCRIPTION:Unlock the secrets of the city in this interactive data treasure hunt! We will present a series of data-driven prompts guiding attendees through unique statistical signatures found in NYC Open Data covering topics like taxis\, crime\, schools\, and parks. Participants will spend the session solving progressively difficult analytical questions\, requiring everything from simple lookups to complex cross-referencing across datasets. \nAs we discuss the answer to each prompt\, a panel of experts from the New York City Chapter of The American Statistical Association will take the investigation one step deeper\, presenting a bite-sized lesson on a statistical concept related to the question. Attendees will learn about tools that can be adapted to many other settings\, such as distributional thinking\, outlier detection\, hypothesis testing\, and exploratory data analysis. The session culminates in a final puzzle: figuring out the hidden theme that connects all the mystery answers together. This session is ideal for data scientists\, students\, civic tech enthusiasts\, or anyone looking to sharpen their analytical toolkit\, open data scientific educational opportunity for all\, undergraduate and graduate students very welcome.

SUMMARY:Open Data 101 for Culture and Arts
DESCRIPTION:Led by the Culture & Arts Policy Institute\, this webinar introduces the core concepts\, practices\, and public benefits of open data through the lens of the culture and arts sector. It explains what “open data” actually means\, how it differs from internal or private data\, and why it matters for organizations seeking to understand their impact\, advocate for resources\, or strengthen transparency. Participants will learn about basic standards\, common tools\, and examples of how open data is used in the United States and internationally to inform policy and support cultural ecosystems. \nThe goal is to give participants the confidence and foundational knowledge needed to engage meaningfully in open data practices and to understand the value of joining broader open-data efforts such as the Institute’s Cultural Data Commons\, a community-governed open data infrastructure designed to make cultural-sector information accessible\, ethical\, and equity-centered for artists\, cultural workers\, organizations\, and public agencies.

SUMMARY:NYC PIT Pop Up: CUNY Open Data Takeover Day One
DESCRIPTION:As part of NYC Open Data Week 2026\, the CUNY Public Interest Technology (PIT) Lab will host a week-long Open Data Takeover of the NYC PIT Pop-Up at the Oculus / World Trade Center. The activation advances Open Data Week’s goals of accessibility\, civic learning\, and practical use of open data by bringing open data projects into a highly visible\, public-facing space. Attendees can drop in at any time during the hours below for a demonstration of the tool and to speak with the presenter. Most of the demos will also be streamed live from the Pop-Up on its Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/cunypitlab). Inside the Oculus\, the Pop-Up is located on the Main Floor C2\, in the South Concourse\, at Shop #53 (next to M.A.C. Cosmetics). View the full PIT Lab schedule. No RSVP needed\, just stop by! \n[2pm-6pm]\nSneha Srivastava – What’s Lost in the Waters? Dive into NYC’s Flood Vulnerability Index\nThe goal of this project is to visualize the variables included in New York City’s Flood Vulnerability Index dataset. The key visualization is a three-dimensional interactive model\, mapping the Flood Susceptibility to Harm and Recovery Index against the median household income of each census tract within the city\, in addition to maps of future flooding scenarios. As such\, the project tackles issues of environmental justice and sustainability\, while addressing the policy implications of climate resilience in different neighborhoods. \nThe Cloud is a Place in Brooklyn\nIn this speculative design workshop\, we ask: What if our data infrastructure lived in our neighborhood parks\, schools\, or community gardens? What if a data center didn’t just store files\, but also used its excess heat to warm a public pool in the winter? What if your neighborhood’s digital history was stored in a “Community Memory Bank” that you helped manage? What if data infrastructure was owned by communities and served community needs? \nApurva Jhamb – Brooklyn Through Data Design : Mapping Place\, Power\, and Urban Systems\nCentered on Brooklyn\, the event will showcase a series of data-driven maps and visual narratives created using NYC Open Data datasets related to housing\, land use\, landmarks\, environmental conditions\, and neighborhood change. The session will demonstrate how public data when paired with thoughtful design can move beyond technical analysis to become an accessible storytelling tool for communities\, planners\, designers\, and civic technologists.

SUMMARY:Open Data Lightning Talk Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Come to the NYC Office of Technology & Innovation offices at 2 MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn for a series of lightning talks\, each of which explores how open data interacts with aspects of everyday life. Afterwards\, join us for a happy hour a few blocks away at Sound & Fury Brewery and Kitchen (141 Lawrence St\, Brooklyn). \nThese lightning talks will cover projects on the price of groceries\, picking public schools\, deciding delivery routes\, applying to city jobs and compliance for small property owners. Full details of the talks will be added as they get confirmed. \nAndre Debuisne “Using Open Data to accurately generate hyperlocal delivery routes in NYC”\nHudson Shipping Co generates its own delivery routes using in-house optimization technology. Part of the input data comes from NYC Open Data\, which helps the last-mile operator find the best route for a given day\, based on road conditions\, planned street closures and many other data points. \nAdrian Liang “Applying to NYC’s public high schools by harnessing NYC Open Data resources”\nEvery year\, over 70\,000 NYC public middle school students take part in the high school application process. This involves researching and deciding what programs to list on applications from over 900 possible high school program choices. NYC-SIFT aggregates public data from over 20 different datasets found on NYC Open Data and NYC DOE InfoHub. This talk will include a discussion of relevant datasets\, how this data is organized\, and how students and parents use this data to make informed decisions during the high school application process. \nCharles Ludwig “One Search\, 4\,000+ Careers: Unifying New York’s Public Sector Government Job Market”\nNavigating public service careers shouldn’t require checking ten different websites. This talk explores the development of NY Gov Jobs\, a unified platform that aggregates over 4\,000 active salaried listings across NYC City agencies\, New York State\, CUNY\, SUNY\, the MTA\, public health systems\, and the NYPL. We’ll discuss the technical challenges of normalizing data from multiple jurisdictions and how a single\, browser-friendly interface can democratize access to public sector employment.\n \nShiva Muthiah “PriceWise – A community-built grocery price database for budget-conscious people”\nThis talk will demo the tool PriceWise (https://www.pricewise.nyc) — a community database of food prices that helps people digitize purchase receipts and draws from NYC Open Data to connect them with stores and neighborhoods. As New Yorkers struggle with inflation\, this tool aims to help them work together to pool pricing information. \nParris Taylor “From Transparency to Decision Infrastructure”\nNew York City has achieved something rare: a deeply structured\, publicly accessible regulatory data ecosystem. But access is not the same as usability\, and transparency is not the same as prevention. As an operator managing real assets in NYC\, I’ve seen how DOB\, HPD\, FDNY\, and DOF datasets remain difficult to operationalize for small property owners. Compliance still requires interpretation\, coordination\, and judgment across fragmented systems. This session explores how open data can evolve from static reporting to structured decision support. Using Brick\, a compliance tool that helps identify regulations\, as a case study\, we will examine entity resolution across BBL and BIN identifiers and the role of AI in translating public datasets into building-specific risk signals and guided action.

SUMMARY:Echo{logies}\, Data Through Design Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Echo{logies} is the 2026 exhibition of Data Through Design\, an independent collective who organize an annual art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze\, interpret\, and interrogate data made available on NYC Open Data. \nVisiting the Exhibition\nThe exhibition is open to the public daily from 12pm to 7 pm during Open Data Week. On March 21\, we will host an opening event that requires RSVP. \nWhen: March 21 – April 5\, 2026\, 12:00pm – 7:00pm \nWhere: BRIC\, 647 Fulton Street (at Rockwell Place)\, Brooklyn\, NY 11217 \nOpening Event: Saturday\, March 21\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM; RSVP. \nAbout Echo{logies}\nThe projects in Echo{logies} work with the bodies of knowledge\, or “-logies”\, that reverberate through New York City’s data. They explore ecosystems and cycles of life expressed in data; the rhythms of growth\, decay\, renewal\, and transformation as they “echo” through data\, and the interplay between human and non-human worlds. \nThis year’s theme engages with questions such as: How can the city\, and data itself\, be understood as ecological and cyclical? How might data be materialized\, embodied\, or inscribed by natural processes? What accumulates\, erodes\, regenerates\, lingers as traces\, or resonates as echoes? \nThe work in this exhibition makes data felt\, witnessed\, or transformed—through physicalization\, interaction\, or by exposing how nature itself records and inscribes change. The artworks engage with living systems\, natural or urban ecologies\, or information ecosystems\, and examine materiality and craft\, murmurations and flows\, entropy and genesis\, and the sublime scale of ecological change. \n\nDesire Paths: Becca Ellsworth & Becca Odell\nHartLine: Ian Callender & Karla Rothstein\nLandscape Workshop: Mark Heller & Mariel Collard Arias\nLinger Loiter: Charlotte Gartenberg & Ivan Himanen\nMetropolitan Cuneiform: Jingrong Zhang\nThe Oracle of Gotham: Karissa Whiting & Elizabeth Costa\nTurnstile Murmurations: Trpti Sanghvi\nUrban Data Orchestra: Composing the Hidden Rhythms of the City: Elina Oikonomaki & Lukas Lesina Debiasi\nWaste Rhythms: Living Records of NYC Communities: HaoChe Hung & Tianxing (Vincent) Zhu\nWild Lots: Craig Fahner & al haley\n\nEcho{logies} is organized and curated by the 2026 Data Through Design team: Julia Bloom\, Tereza Chanaki\, Rachel Daniell\, Jack Darcey\, Sara Eichner\, Justin Roberts\, and Can Sucuoğlu.

SUMMARY:Walk the Data: Mapping User Experience (UX) Mobility on NYC Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join this hands-on walking workshop that turns NYC streets into a living lab! Together\, we will test a custom\, data-enabled pedestrian routing system built from publicly available layers such as sidewalks\, pedestrian ramps\, traffic volumes\, thermal comfort\, tree canopy\, and other walkability indicators. The goal is to see what these datasets capture about moving through the city and what they miss. This approach\, called UX Mobility routing\, was developed and tested in Milan and is now being applied to a selected NYC area to spark new insights on inclusive\, experience-aware mobility. \nLed by moderators from Systematica and Transform Transport\, participants will follow the predefined route in small groups and use a simple guided toolkit to document the sensory\, cognitive\, emotional\, and physical side of the walk. We will consider factors like noise\, crowding\, comfort\, clarity\, and perceived safety\, then compare lived experience with what the mapped layers suggest. The session concludes with a collective data–experience gap map and a set of takeaways on how NYC Open Data could better reflect real walkability through new layers\, combinations of data\, or proxy indicators such as using traffic patterns to estimate noise. Open to everyone\, with no technical background needed\, all mobility levels welcome\, and materials provided. \nThe meeting point for this event will be in front of 5 MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn.

SUMMARY:From Open Data to Data Commons: Building Civic Infrastructure for the Culture and Arts Sector
DESCRIPTION:What if the problem isn’t a lack of data\, but a lack of infrastructure to share and reuse it responsibly over time? \nWhen working with data\, we often treat collection as the end of the story—focusing on efficient ways to acquire and store it—while neglecting the data’s longer life: making it findable\, interpretable\, re-usable\, and actionable beyond its original purpose. Responsible reuse depends not just on technical infrastructure but also on shared practice. \nWith the Culture Data Commons as a starting point\, join us in conversation with Stefaan Verhulst\, co-founder of the GovLab and The Data Tank\, on responsible data reuse and the opportunities of data stewardship through collective practices and participatory governance. \nOrganized by the Culture & Arts Policy Institute and hosted by BRIC\, this session\, part of Open Data Week 2026\,  invites cultural leaders\, researchers\, technologists\, policymakers\, and funders to rethink data governance in the arts and to consider how collective data infrastructure can transform information into shared power.  \nRSVP here \nABOUT THE CULTURE DATA COMMONS\nDeveloped by the Culture & Arts Policy Institute\, the Culture Data Commons (The Commons) is a collectively stewarded shared data space for the culture and arts sector. It brings together datasets\, tools\, and governance practices to enable organizations to share\, access\, and reuse information responsibly. More than a portal\, it is a collaborative framework that centers participation\, transparency\, and collective decision-making in how culture data is stewarded and applied.

SUMMARY:Tracing the City: Data Science for Social Good Student Work Exhibition & Reception
DESCRIPTION:Tracing the City features student work from The Cooper Union’s interdisciplinary course\, Data Science for Social Good\, that pairs engineering\, art\, and architecture students with New York City nonprofits to help address real-world challenges together. Through the course\, Cooper Union students help these organizations explore open datasets drawn from NYC Open Data sources\, communicate findings visually\, and propose data-informed interventions. Projects often highlight disparities in health outcomes\, environmental conditions\, educational access\, and justice-system involvement across different city neighborhoods. This year\, students are collaborating with NYC-based nonprofits—including organizations such as Bee U\, Civic Health Alliance\, and Justicia Lab\, and Housing Rights Initiative—to investigate how open data can support youth empowerment\, community health\, tenancy protections\, and corporate wage theft. \nFor Open Data Week 2026\, we are hosting a public exhibition and reception showcasing work from this year’s Data Visualization and Data Science for Social Good cohort\, alongside selected projects from previous years. The exhibition will feature a range of student work installed in The Cooper Union Civic Projects Lab; ranging from interactive installations\, posters\, visual narrative studies\, and digital prototypes— all built using NYC Open Data and nonprofit partner datasets. The event is designed to be highly participatory: student teams will be present throughout the space to walk attendees through their datasets\, demonstrate interactive components\, discuss methodologies\, and engage in open conversation about their findings and design choices. Rather than a static gallery\, the exhibition will function as an open studio environment where visitors can test interactives\, review visual drafts\, ask questions directly to student creators\, and learn how open data is used to support real-world challenges faced by NYC communities. A brief opening talk will introduce the pedagogy of the course and the role of open data in civic problem-solving\, but the emphasis will be on hands-on engagement and informal dialogue. The goal is to create an accessible and welcoming public space where open data comes alive through student-led exploration\, community insight\, and interactive design. Register here.

SUMMARY:Drop-in Data Discussions and AI Dialogs for Real World Solutions
DESCRIPTION:This event is a half-day in-person drop-in\, office hours-style session aimed at human services professionals and similar public sector staff to learn about ways that Open Data and AI might be used to help their organizations\, and to share experiences and challenges they currently face. The session will include hands-on activities and demos\, educational materials\, informal one-on-one discussions\, group Q+As\, and design activities. \nCome and say hi if you have questions like these about Open Data: \n\nI want to know where things are. Is there mapped Open Data on where human services resources are located? If I manage a resource can I add to these maps?\nI want to know about local and State budgeting and finances. Is there public information about civic budgets? Where can I see capital funding allocations\, for example?\nI’m curious about city planning and demographics. What is the makeup of our City? Who lives where\, and why?\n\nOr questions like these about AI: \n\nI hear a lot about AI and how it will change everything. How are human services organizations responding to this change? What do I need to know?\nWhat are the risks of using AI in my work? Are there ways to minimize potential harms to my organization and our clients?\nAI is everywhere\, but what can it actually do? Can you explain how my organization can safely identify and implement AI opportunities?\n\nWe will be running activities to help you use Open Data tools to answer questions relevant to your organization’s needs\, to understand AI from the perspective of its capabilities (i.e. what it can do for you rather than how it works)\, and to identify low-risk and low-hanging fruit opportunities for using AI and Open Data in your organization. The first hour will include interactive table demonstrations of open data resources; the second hour will focus on the potential of AI capabilities for documenting impacts and improving organizational performance; the third hour will offer human services and local government agency staff the change to bring their data questions to office hours\, meeting with like-minded colleagues\, academics with domain expertise in data and AI literacy and student assistants. \nAbout the organizers: \nThis event extends a series of engagements and conversations we are having with individuals and human services organizations to help navigate change and uncertainty associated with AI\, and to help identify and realize opportunities offered by Open Data. We are researchers and educators committed to designing and using technology in the public interest. \n\nLauri Goldkind is Professor of Social Work at the Graduate School of Social Service\, Fordham University. She is interested in how digital tools\, artificial intelligence and open data can make the lives of individuals in and served by the social sector better. (https://www.laurigoldkind.net)\nGraham Dove is Assistant Professor at New York University\, Tandon School of Engineering. His research in human-computer interaction (HCI) focuses on helping diverse groups of people design and use data-rich technologies and artificial intelligence\, without requiring expertise in data science. (https://wp.nyu.edu/tandonschoolofengineering-peopleplustechnology/)\n\nThis event will be held in the NYC PIT Pop-Up. Inside the Oculus\, the Pop-Up is located on the Main Floor C2\, in the South Concourse\, at Shop #53 (next to M.A.C. Cosmetics).

SUMMARY:NYC PIT Pop Up: CUNY Open Data Takeover Day Three
DESCRIPTION:As part of NYC Open Data Week 2026\, the CUNY Public Interest Technology (PIT) Lab will host a week-long Open Data Takeover of the NYC PIT Pop-Up at the Oculus / World Trade Center. The activation advances Open Data Week’s goals of accessibility\, civic learning\, and practical use of open data by bringing open data projects into a highly visible\, public-facing space. Attendees can drop in at any time during the hours below for a demonstration of the tool and to speak with the presenter. Most of the demos will also be streamed live from the Pop-Up on its Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/cunypitlab). Inside the Oculus\, the Pop-Up is located on the Main Floor C2\, in the South Concourse\, at Shop #53 (next to M.A.C. Cosmetics). View the full PIT Lab schedule. No RSVP needed\, just stop by! \n[10am-1pm]\nLauri Goldkind – Drop-in Data Discussions & AI Dialogs for Real World Solutions\nThis is a one-day in-person drop-in\, office hours style session aimed at human services professionals and similar public sector staff to learn about ways that Open Data and AI might be used to help their organizations\, and to share experiences and challenges they currently face.

We create trauma-informed technologies that allow individuals to cultivate the necessary awareness to design sustainable pathways to well-being across personal\, social\, professional and collective communities. Utilizing the Systems Based Awareness Map\, the world’s first interactive map of human awareness\, we are building a scalable\, equitable platform combined with experiences that we call MindHeart Activations – in-person events that support collective healing through combining culturally relevant forms of somatics\, contemplative practices\, land-based rituals and retreats\, music and art\, all designed to create an infrastructure of care as a loving response to our awareness of the rising loneliness\, stress\, isolation and depression experienced across the world. \nSasha Richardson – Black Knowledge Erasure Dataset\nThe Black Knowledge Erasure Dataset (BKED) is a research archive designed to document how AI models like GPT-5 and Gemini distort Black history and culture through specific “hallucinations”. Rather than viewing these errors as random bugs\, the project frames them as “epistemic erasure\,” where algorithms invent authorities or omit key figures in ways that mirror historical discrimination. The dataset includes the original prompts\, the incorrect AI responses\, and human-verified annotations that identify exactly where the models failed against standard archival sources. \nAlex Conner – ººSPARK**CIVIC\nºSPARK**AI × ºDO..OS form the intelligence and operating layer behind ºSPARK**CIVIC’s NYC Data Week session\, demonstrating how NYC Open Data can move from published datasets to shared understanding and clear next steps. ºSPARK**AI helps interpret complex civic data and policy context into consistent\, plain-language meaning\, while ºDO..OS ensures that guidance carries forward as reusable actions\, templates\, and handoffs across committees\, agencies\, partners\, and the public.

On March 21\, we will host an opening event that requires RSVP. \nWhen: March 21 – April 5\, 2026\, 12:00pm – 7:00pm \nWhere: BRIC\, 647 Fulton Street (at Rockwell Place)\, Brooklyn\, NY 11217 \nOpening Event: Saturday\, March 21\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM; RSVP. \nAbout Echo{logies}\nThe projects in Echo{logies} work with the bodies of knowledge\, or “-logies”\, that reverberate through New York City’s data. They explore ecosystems and cycles of life expressed in data; the rhythms of growth\, decay\, renewal\, and transformation as they “echo” through data\, and the interplay between human and non-human worlds. \nThis year’s theme engages with questions such as: How can the city\, and data itself\, be understood as ecological and cyclical? How might data be materialized\, embodied\, or inscribed by natural processes? What accumulates\, erodes\, regenerates\, lingers as traces\, or resonates as echoes? \nThe work in this exhibition makes data felt\, witnessed\, or transformed—through physicalization\, interaction\, or by exposing how nature itself records and inscribes change. The artworks engage with living systems\, natural or urban ecologies\, or information ecosystems\, and examine materiality and craft\, murmurations and flows\, entropy and genesis\, and the sublime scale of ecological change. \n\nDesire Paths: Becca Ellsworth & Becca Odell\nHartLine: Ian Callender & Karla Rothstein\nLandscape Workshop: Mark Heller & Mariel Collard Arias\nLinger Loiter: Charlotte Gartenberg & Ivan Himanen\nMetropolitan Cuneiform: Jingrong Zhang\nThe Oracle of Gotham: Karissa Whiting & Elizabeth Costa\nTurnstile Murmurations: Trpti Sanghvi\nUrban Data Orchestra: Composing the Hidden Rhythms of the City: Elina Oikonomaki & Lukas Lesina Debiasi\nWaste Rhythms: Living Records of NYC Communities: HaoChe Hung & Tianxing (Vincent) Zhu\nWild Lots: Craig Fahner & al haley\n\nEcho{logies} is organized and curated by the 2026 Data Through Design team: Julia Bloom\, Tereza Chanaki\, Rachel Daniell\, Jack Darcey\, Sara Eichner\, Justin Roberts\, and Can Sucuoğlu.

SUMMARY:Mapping Green Space Access: Turn Data into Community Action
DESCRIPTION:A workshop that uses NYC Open Data to map green space access gaps\, not just where parks exist\, but who can actually reach them. We’ll identify transit barriers\, unsafe pedestrian routes\, and vacant lots with conversion potential\, then equip participants with concrete tools to turn that analysis into community advocacy. \nThe core question isn’t whether parks are near enough\, it’s whether people can access them. A park two miles away with no bus route might as well not exist for the people who need it most. Participants will learn to map those gaps and identify actionable solutions: Which bus route needs extending? Which vacant lot could become a neighborhood green space? Which crosswalk is missing? This workshop is about democratizing spatial analysis so that communities\, not just planners\, have the data to advocate for themselves. \nBy the end\, participants will have learned what it takes to create a working map of access gaps in a neighborhood of their choosing\, a set of targeted recommendations\, and guidance on how to present that data to the decision-makers who can act on it. \nThis event will be held at the Little Red School House\, 272 Avenue of the Americas.

SUMMARY:What’s in a Dataset? Cyanotypes as Tools for Critical and Creative Data Capture
DESCRIPTION:How would you describe your favorite tree to someone who had never seen it? \nFramed around themes of data feminism and critical data studies\, this workshop\, led by Alissa Kushner and Star Ajasin\, explores the choices behind how traditional datasets and metadata describe the world around us. Participants will poke through NYC Open Data’s most recent Street Tree Census\, interrogating what it means to capture the essence of our urban environments into a dataset\, questioning the choices\, politics\, and perspectives behind how data is chosen\, organized\, and labeled. We will then visit a tree closest to the site of the workshop and collect metadata not typically captured about it through the creation of cyanotype images (also known as sun prints)\, serving as a counter-method of slow and embodied data capture. Participants will leave the workshop with a more critical understanding of environmental data as well as a handmade cyanotype to take home with them. \nThis event is hosted at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering at 370 Jay Street in Downtown Brooklyn.
