In 2022, metaLAB (at) Harvard presented Curatorial A(i)gents, an exhibition of machine-learning ex- periments with the Harvard Art Museums’ digital archive. This led to the creation of Surprise Machines, a visualization project that displayed the entire universe of the museums’ collections, and a choreo- graphic interface that enabled visitors to interact with the show’s projects via a dance vocabulary. Since then in project Data Sensorium, metaLAB has begun exploring how archives can be further en- gaged via the translation of datasets to movement scores. In this talk, principals Lins Derry and Dario Rodighiero discuss the research arc.
