NECESSITY.INK is a London-based studio specialising in data-driven art.

We work on commissions and research projects using data to inform and transform our understanding of information, society, and culture. Highly interested in humanising information, we believe in making the inaccessible accessible by using data as a pair of glasses, to allow you to see what was previously difficult to observe. Recent works include an audio-reactive video installation to document the emotional journey through loss and grief premiered at the Shoreditch Arts Club in London and using biometric data to visualise and understand the rhythm of your sleep.

What’s on
We are combining experimental programming and immersive art to analyse the impacts of noise pollution on Londoners’ lives – coming soon on our blog, join the mailing list to be notified.

What we do

Research Projects

We analyse, investigate, and communicate data.

We understand and speculate on current phenomena to design bespoke data-driven art collections and experiences based on our findings. Both in the physical and digital world.

Data Visualisation

We use data to tell your story.

We assist you along the entire journey from data to visual. Our team of experts can help you understand your data and create a narrative from it. Whatever type of data you have. 

Immersive Data Experiences

We design and build experiences.

Like custom software and digital tools to help you deliver physical and digital products just like you imagined. We design and curate artwork installations for public and private spaces, and events, ensuring a seamless integration of technology and creativity.
