We invite you to create a wearable object, a piece of jewelry, that turns data into art. Whether personal, social, or global, let your design make the invisible visible through material, structure, form, size, geometry, texture, or color.
DataArt is an increasing in popularity art form that uses data as source material for creating works of art. It not only makes data comprehensible but also imbues it with emotional resonance, turning it from mathematics into a tool for interpretation and reflection of reality - both global and personal.
We invite you to create a wearable object, a piece of jewelry, that merges data and art. Let your piece tell a story through material, structure, form, size, geometry, texture, or color.
We do not limit you in your choice of materials, techniques, or themes. Your work could be inspired by:
In case your work is based on existing data we are asking you to use statistics from reliable sources - and we will ask to attach the link to these sources when telling about your work.
Tell your story through data and make the invisible visible!

We do not limit you in your choice of materials, techniques, or themes. Your work could be inspired by:
- Personal data: rhythms of your life, step counts, financial expenses, emotional states, even your caffeine intake - anything in your life you can collect the data on.
- Social topics: from human rights statistics to analyses of global social changes.
- Global issues: such as climate change, ecological crises, or the impact of technology.
