of data, code, and computation through creative, experimental interventions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">As researchers and media artists integrate data-driven technologies like virtual, augmented, and extended reality, machine learning, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence
into radically transformative ways, expanded cinema offers a starting point to appraise
<i>expanding data</i>. Much like expanded cinema revolutionized traditional filmmaking, expanded data reimagines the potential of data, code, and computation across diverse venues, media, and platforms, broadening the possibilities for creating, exhibiting,
performing, and engaging with data-based and data-driven artworks. This expansion cultivates new critical data competencies influenced by cultural aesthetics and data paradigms, such as lo-fi, glitch, speculative design, anti-computing, counter archives, queer
data, trans data, and artificial life. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
