Dataism Finale | Barabási x Szelektor at the Műcsarnok

The exhibition at the Műcsarnok presents an art project by network researcher Albert-László Barabási centered on “dataism,” which combines scientific data analysis with contemporary painting. The exhibition’s exciting duality lies in the fact that Barabási, by testing the network principles of his own best-selling book, *The Formula*, on himself, examines the processes of artistic success simultaneously as both a scientist and a creator. The closing event will also feature experimental electronic music by up-and-coming Hungarian artists.

Providing the musical backdrop with a live set: 

Réti Virág is an exciting, experimental up-and-coming artist who loves to blur the lines between reality and fiction in her soundscapes. Her tools include combining field recordings with digital textures, which she uses to create atmospheres that are often organic yet futuristic or dreamlike. His musical approach goes beyond traditional song structures; his compositions are often like sonic landscapes, where the sounds of nature and abstract electronics coexist as equals. 

EEEE (Eszeveszett) – one of the rawest, most uncompromising acts in the Hungarian underground electronic scene, blending hardcore techno, gabber, and experimental noise into a single, overwhelming burst of energy. As the name suggests, the project aims to create total catharsis and an instinctive, “frantic” dance floor experience where the boundaries between performer and audience blur.
