W.E.B. Du Bois and the interplay of data, technology, and race in the twenty-first century.
Data Consciousness brings together original essays and an interview exploring W.E.B. Du Bois and his contributions to sociology, art, and aesthetics from the perspective of six contemporary Black artists and scholars who explore how data, information, and technology increasingly mediate issues of race, identity, and equity. It includes full documentation of the forthcoming major print work, Printing Black America: Du Bois’s Data Portraits in the 21st Century, made by William Villalongo and Shraddha Ramani in collaboration with six fine art print publishers across the United States.
