'This is not the catalogue of the homonymous exhibition which took place between 2018 and 2022 at Galerie Charlot in Paris and Tel Aviv, at Watermans in London and at iMAL in Brussels. Or rather it is, and much more. Data Dating: Love, Technology, Desire is a collection of ten essays, each one related to an artwork in the exhibition. These are not meant as commentaries on the artworks but rather elaborate on their individual themes. [...] Within the ten chapters, the exhibition expands theoretically through an indirect dialogue, intertwining the artistic and academic. It’s another excellent example of an innovative format and project that celebrates cultural production.' -- Neural
