How do our feelings, emotions and reactions affect how we experience the world? Uncertain Data brings together four artists in residence at FACT, whose work exposes the complex layers defining the data that governs us, and questions the trust we place in it.

Four newly commissioned artworks invite us to journey through the depths of the ocean by controlling our emotions in an interactive VR work; to question whether a computer algorithm can tell whether we’re lying or telling the truth; and to uncover hard facts and data to reveal the human stories beneath them - ultimately exposing the uncertainty that our world is built on.
