Is data art? Andrea Nicolas Fischer believes it is.

Conceptual artist/sculptor Andrea Nicolas Fischer has found an interesting muse:  data.  He’s managed to take various forms of numbers and indexes, often considered to be just ideas or concepts, and turn them into something tangible.  From a plywood rendition of the 2008 stock market decline to a wooden carving of the world gross domestic product in 2007, he proves that you can find art where you least expect it.
