Data.Waves.Audio.Lines. will include new works especially created for this program and will be the first time several of these works have been shown in the United States. The artwork by top international minimalist artists working in audio and visual installations includes non-narrative, self-referential works, their structures focusing on working with lines, mixing sound and visual elements, focusing on the reaction of sound and visual elements together, and immersing the viewer in the experience. The works in the exhibition take their inspiration from the element of the line, including how the structure of sound is based on the line, how data consists of numbers in a line, and how the wave is a form of a line. Chartier's recording label, Line, publishes compositional and installation work by international sound artists and composers exploring the aesthetics of contemporary and digital minimalism. Art Forum referred to Chartier as well as several of the artists participating in the Data.Waves.Audio.Lines. exhibition as "Neo-Modernists."
