Book excerpt: Database Aesthetics examines the database as cultural and aesthetic form, explaining how artists have participated in network culture by creating data art.

Here, the ways information is ordered and organized become artistic choices, and artists have an essential role in influencing and critiquing the digitization of daily life.
