Information Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative, conceptual ideas, or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. Other activities related to the production of works of art include the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination[clarification needed] of art.

1. Information Art

2. Introduction
Information art, which is also known as Informatism or data art, is
emerging artforms that are inspired by and principally incorporate data, computer
science, information technology, artificial intelligence, and related data-driven
fields. The information revolution has resulted in over-abundant data that are
critical in a wide range of areas, from the Internet to healthcare systems. Related
to conceptual art, electronic art and new media art, informatism considers this new
technological, economical, and cultural paradigm shift, such that artworks may
provide social commentaries, synthesize multiple disciplines, and develop new
aesthetics. Realization of information art often take, although not necessarily,
interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches
incorporating visual, audio, data analysis, performance, and others. Furthermore,
physical and virtual installations involving informatism often provide human-
computer interaction that generate artistic contents based on the processing of
large amounts of data.

3. Background
Information art has a long history as visualization
of qualitative and quantitative data forms a
foundation in science, technology, and
governance. Information
design and informational graphics, which has
existed before computing and the Internet, are
closely connected with this new emergent art
movement. An early example of informatism the
1970 exhibition organized called "Information" at
the Museum of Modern Art in New York City
(curated by Kynaston McShine). This is the time
when conceptual art has emerged as a leading
tendency in the United States and internationally.
At the same time arose the activities
of Experiments in Art and Technology known as
E.A.T.

4. Contemporary Practices
Information art are manifested using a variety
of data sources such
as photographs, census data, video clips, sear
ch engine results, digital painting, network
signals, and others.Often, such data are
transformed, analyzed, and interpreted in
order to convey concepts and develop
aesthetics. When dealing with big data, artists
may use statistics and machine learning to
seek meaningful patterns that drive audio,
visual, and other forms of representations.
Recently, informatism is used in interactive
and generative installations that are often
dynamically linked with data and analytical
pipelines.

5. SOME EXAMPLE OF INFORMATION ART:
1)The Tempestry Project
The Tempestry Project is an ongoing collaborative fiber arts project that
presents climate change data in visual form
through knitted or crocheted artwork. The project is part of a larger "data art"
movement and the developing field of climate change art, which seeks to
overcome human tendency to value personal experience over data by creating
accessible experiential representations of climate change data.
Tempestries are produced by knitting or crocheting a single row in a specified
color representing the high temperature each day for a year, and multiple works
are typically displayed together to show change over time. The project began in
2017 in Anacortes, Washington, US, and has since spread throughout the country
and around the world.
The word "tempestry" is a portmanteau of "temperature" and "tapestry."

6. 2)Warming stripes
Warming stripes (sometimes referred to
as climate stripes, climate timelines or stripe
graphics) are data visualization graphics that
use a series of coloured stripes
chronologically ordered to visually portray
long-term temperature trends. Warming
stripes reflect a "minimalist“ style, conceived
to use colour alone to intuitively
convey global warming trends to non-
scientists while avoiding technical
distractions.
The initial concept of visualizing historical
temperature data has been extended to
involve animation, to visualize sea level
rise and predictive climate data,and to
visually juxtapose temperature trends with
other data such as atmospheric CO
2 concentration, global glacier retreat and
precipitation.
Professor Ed Hawkins' warming stripes for
1850 (left side of graphic) to 2018 (right
side of graphic). Progression from blue
(cooler) to red (warmer) annual readings
indicates long-term increase of average
global temperature.

7. 3)Climate Spiral
A climate spiral (sometimes referred to as a temperature spiral) is an
animated data visualization graphic designed as a "simple and effective
demonstration of the progression of global warming", especially for general
audiences.
The original climate spiral was published on 9 May 2016 by British climate
scientist Ed Hawkins to portray global average temperature anomaly (change) since
1850. The visualization graphic has since been expanded to represent other time-
varying quantities such as atmospheric CO2 concentration,carbon budget,and
arctic sea ice volume.
• Its selection to graph temperature (a quantity that the public feels is relevant
and understandable),
• Its production by scientists (who tend to be viewed as "trusted messengers"),
• Its being intuitive and eye-catching (not a "boring" scientific graph),
• Its similarity to a clock (which is normally regular and predictable but which
provides a "visual surprise" at the end, portraying the "fortuitous" large
temperature increases encountered very recently),
• Its animated nature (not a static graph), and
• Its short duration (holding viewers' attention).
