Since 2015, Quadrature has been working on a transdisciplinary practice in which technology is purposefully used to investigate and shape social realities. Data functions not merely as abstract information but as an artistic material that reveals social power structures, infrastructures, and worldviews. Their works operate at the intersection of media art, critical data research, and collaborative artistic inquiry.
“The Mass of Money” is conceived as the starting point of a new series of works by Quadrature, which explores how economic systems shape our perceptions of the world, of order, and of scale. Drawing on economic data regarding inequality and wealth distribution, the artists translate abstract processes into visual and acoustic spaces. In collaboration with scientists and researchers at TUD, this data is not only analysed but also artistically transformed into new, tangible forms.
