About Aaron Siegel
Aaron Siegel (b.1983) is a transdisciplinarian with a concentration in computational information design. He received his BFA in Digital Media Art from the Cadre Laboratory for New Media at San Jose State University in 2006, and his MFA in Design|Media Art from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2008.
His motivation comes from interesting data sets, interfaces, and social justice applications. His work utilizes data visualization to address complex systems of power structures and networks of influence. He aims to achieve an overlapping relationship with aesthetic representations of data and scientific empiricism. His work strives to display relationships and correlations within information systems that would remain unseen from any other perspective.
The goal of many of his creative endeavors is to enable people with a greater understanding of a system larger than themselves; a technical capability usually reserved for large corporate and government institutions. By enabling the average citizen with data management, analysis, and visualization technology, an inverse panopticon can be created where the collective participation of a community can monitor and hold a larger institution accountable for its actions.
