In 2019 the author started exploring the visualization of datasets from Wikidata for artistic practice. Initially, analysing gender representation in collections led to the development of an inquiring model for art or museum collections. Later, a similar approach was adopted on prehistoric female figurines in Malta and Gozo. This brought towards a coherent conclusion: structured datasets are visualized, sonified, and accompanied by her creation of art objects. Reflections on data representations in art collections and museums have provided opportunities to explore ways to look into a collection rather than at a collection. This data science point of view aims to enable the discovery of relationships between items within the dataset while stitching them together through shared properties, in creative ways.
