Domestic Data Streamers Spanish, b. 2013

Domestic Data Streamers is a Barcelona-based collective working with data as a physical material. Founded in 2013 is a group of designers, journalists, coders and researchers who shared a suspicion that the dominant visual language of statistics had stopped meaning anything, the collective builds installations, films and participatory structures that return numbers to the bodies they came from.

Their central question in their work is who gets counted, and what the counting does to them. A figure on a dashboard flattens the person it describes. The collective's work reverses that operation: it takes the aggregate apart and hands it back as something you can touch, argue with, or refuse to answer. Their pieces have been installed in schools, prisons, cinemas, museums, city streets and the United Nations Headquarters, and their surveys have been answered by hundreds of thousands of people who became, in the process, co-authors of the work.

Since 2022 the collective has developed Synthetic Memories, a body of work made with people whose memories were never photographed, refugees, survivors of political violence, elderly people with dementia. Using generative image models directed entirely by the person remembering, the collective produces pictures of events that no camera recorded. The results are not documents. They are closer to testimony given visual form, and they raise the question of what an image is for once it stops promising evidence.

Eight works from Domestic Data Streamers entered the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 2026, and appear in Full Disclosure: The Edge of Information Design, curated by Paola Antonelli, opening 27 September 2026.

Other significant works include 730 Hours of Violence (Mutuo 2021 and Fundació Telefonica 2025), Data Heartbreak (2022, acquired by M9 museum in Venice), Digital Cartography of Human Connection (DHub 2023) and Forever Frequencies (Barbican Center 2024).

The collective has exhibited his work across more than sixty countries and with institutions including Tate Modern, the California Academy of Sciences, Mon Takanawa and the Hong Kong Design Institute.
