Please join us on Wednesday July 9, 2025, for a virtual artist talk with artists Lani Asunción, JAZSALYN, Lai Yi Ohlsen, Kristoffer Ørum, Caroline Sinders and Roopa Vasudevan to explore the inspiration and process behind the works featured in Data Fluencies: Tributaries.

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Data Fluencies: Tributaries, on view at Or Gallery from May 29 to July 19, 2025, this program is free and open to all.

Data Fluencies: Tributaries features the work of six contemporary artists, alongside experimental research supported by the Data Fluencies Project, based out of the Digital Democracies Institute at Simon Fraser University. The exhibition aims to provide open public engagement with the research outputs emerging from the larger project and place them next to cutting-edge and critical work of artists examining the same themes and ideas. Together, the artists and researchers featured here offer us ways to (re)consider our relationships with the data that surrounds and drives our everyday lives—and perhaps find new routes to agency once we are able to do so.

The Data Fluencies: Tributaries exhibition and public programs are presented with support from the Digital Democracies Institute at Simon Fraser University.
