A selection of books dealing with data and collections, algorithms and formulae both real and synthesized. Michael Winkler and Susan Happersett engineer their own systems for organizing data, generating visual patterns that vacillate between abstract and legible. “Matter” and “Exploited Subjects” both take the work of physicists as jumping-off points and play with how scientific concepts can be illustrated, unveiling aesthetic connections between art and science. “Abstract Forecast” appropriates and re-presents scientific imagery to speculate on weather patterns in a way that conceals the absence of actual data. " The Plummet Machine" offers a critique of the social and philosophical formations that govern enunciation through an elaborate schematic of moving parts.
