Join us for a panel related to Echo{logies}, the 2026 exhibition of Data Through Design, the annual data art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze, interpret, and interrogate data made available in NYC’s Open Data Portal. For more information on the artists participating and registration, visit BRIC.
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.
The 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.
When: March 21 – April 5, 2026, 12:00pm – 7:00pm
Where: BRIC, 647 Fulton Street (at Rockwell Place), Brooklyn, NY 11217
Opening Event: Saturday, March 21, 6:30 – 8:30 PM; RSVP.
The 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.
This 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?
The 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.
Echo{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.

The 2026 Echo{logies} exhibition, which runs through April 5, contains ten data-driven, interdisciplinary art projects presented in partnership with BRIC.
