Description
Summary:The use of culture and creativity keeps increasing in the cities’ tourism strategies. In this context, data art—a recent artistic practice which consists in creating works from data produced by society or the environment—represents a potential as a cultural tourist attraction. This exploratory article aims to identify the characteristics that convert it into a potential tourist attraction through an interpretative and thematic analysis of fifty international works. On the one hand, this innovative art is firmly anchored in current issues, notably urban, environmental, and societal. On the other hand, even though the exhibition places are mainly central or iconic, the transit places have become new meaningful scenarios for data art. Finally, the connections of data art to different times and spaces, from data collection to their exhibition, allow the visitor to live new experiences trough renewing the representations of places, thus contributing to differentiate tourist destinations.
