Data Studio

An artistic research practice where Science and Art meet across four modes of knowledge — turning information into knowledge, and knowledge into transformation.

The four modes

Intuitive Art — fast, associative, holistic.

The gestural and instinctive side of artistic practice.

Decisions emerge before reflection.

Analytical Art — slow, deliberate, rule-based.

The conceptual side of artistic practice.

Ideas are structured into deliberate form.

Intuitive Science — fast, experience-driven, observational.

The empirical side of scientific practice.

Data arises from direct experience.

Formal Science — slow, logical, methodological.

The rigorous side of scientific practice.

Data is managed under explicit rules.

Conceptual framework

DataTelling is how I work across the two scientific modes. As a researcher, I treat the emotional, physical, and psychological states that accompany each creative session as proxies for the inner process of creation.

Through Formal Science, I apply methods to organise and analyse this material; through Intuitive Science, I use direct observations. Both uncover patterns and dynamics that the artwork cannot reveal on its own.

 

Why scientific methods? Because they offer a rigorous way to work with all kinds of material — so that what is usually only felt can become visible, comparable, and understandable.

ArtTelling

ArtTelling is how I work across the two artistic modes. As a visual artist, I take analytical concepts, intentions, and datasets and translate them into form. Colour, texture, gesture, and composition become a language for expression.

Through Intuitive Art, I let the body, the senses, and the unconscious shape the work; through Analytical Art, I structure those expressions into deliberate compositions. Both uncover what words and numbers cannot.

Why Artistic methods? Because they reach dimensions of experience that language and numbers cannot — making the invisible visible.

Data Makeup

The study of the makeup-making process. The choices of colour, texture, and form become a language for understanding how intention becomes attitude.​​

Data Canvas

The study of the painting process. The analysis of images and personal states of each session uncovers patterns and relationships that the artwork alone cannot reveal.

Data Dance

An ongoing collaboration with a Tango dancer and teacher. The dancer brings the artistic vocabulary; I bring the analytical lens.
