DATA LOAM is an exhibition in cooperation with the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Royal College of Art in London, RIAT Vienna, as well as the Master’s program Arts & Science. Data Loam is a PEEK project for the development of the arts, funded by the FWF, the Fund for the advancement/promotion of scientific research.

During the 2 years of the project DATA LOAM, the Research Institute for Arts & Technology (RIAT, Institute for Future Cryptoeconomics) has worked with a set of experimental and exploratory methods to tackle questions of data ownership, data politics, speculative design of future data archaeology and novel approaches to post-factual data. In this timeframe the residency for future cryptoeconomics (in cooperation with the MuseumsQuartier) brought 10 artists and researchers to Vienna to work and co-produce art+research projects with RIAT. The performance “Proof of Burn” made cryptoeconomics and experimental economics tangible. The research has further been thematised, exhibited and presented at Transmediale (Berlin), Grey Areas Festival (San Francisco), Ethereum Devcon4 (Prague), Ars Electronica (Linz) and 35C3 (Leipzig).
