Eleven Twenty Projects is pleased to present Matthew Peter Nagowski: Nobody Circles the Wagons, a series of digital archival prints addressing the region's changing socioeconomic landscape. Using the Processing computer language, Nagowski abstracts data derived from local socioeconomic trends, blends them with local experiences, and contextualizes their numerical-driven meaning in aesthetic form. Nagowski's work explores the boundaries of analytical and emotional reaction to data and art.
