one who suffers - Quadrature | Ars Electronica Futurelab

The audiovisual project "one who suffers" intrinsically weaves together data on drug consumption, pharmaceutical revenues, and health care spending with statistics on waiting times and perceived personal health based on income.
The piece by Quadrature was part of the Data Art & Science Project in collaboration with Toyota Coniq Alpha that was presented at the Ars Electronica Festival 2023. Visitors could experience five artistic explorations that combine data art and data science. As seen here, the projects were also presented in Deep Space 8K - one of the highlights of the Futurelab Night Performances at the Festival.
By juxtaposing pharmaceutical industry data with global health statistics one who suffers seeks to confront the audience with paradoxes of the modern healthcare landscape. Driven by raw data, a turmoil of sound is synchronized with abstract graphics and stroboscopic effects, creating a synaesthetic experience that assaults the senses - a visceral commentary on the incongruity between financial interests and human well-being.
