⭐ 1 Star Workshop

The artists scraped thousands of one-star reviews of public sites in Ljubljana. Taking the scraped data as a starting point, the workshop will look at the materiality of this data, its specific textures and aesthetics. What types of views of the city can we generate from the data? How can we approach the data in interesting ways? Can we use the scraped data as a form of critique and artistic research?

What other participants say: 

AMAZING!!! DON’T MISS!! THE BEST WORKSHOP BY BRILLIANT ARTISTS! (5/5)

This workshop will be such an amazing experience and give everyone a deep insight into the data that the artists used for the show at Aksioma. They scraped sooo many 1 star reviews! Like thousands! And most are hilarious! The artists will do an amazing job of explaining their process in great detail. And they’ll share links to other helpful resources for artists who want to work with data. The artists will be so knowledgeable it will truly blow your mind. Also just really nice people!!! You will learn a lot! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

THE WORST WORKSHOP EVER. TOTALLY SKIP IT. SO DISAPPOINTED (1/5)

RATINGS SUCK!!!! This workshop is going to be soooo boring. Seriously, who wants to look at data. Learn about data. Scrape data. I’d rather stare at the wall than look at excel sheets. Who comes up with this stuff? Data scraping has NOTHING to do with art or aesthetics. What does that even mean!!!! And you’ll also have to DO stuff. Most probably analyse and sort THEIR data. In an artist workshop? Without pay? Am I here to learn or to work? They’ll ask: what can be generated from the data? Sounds like a question they should have answered themselves before doing the workshop. Not going to work for free. This makes me so angry ⭐☆☆☆☆
