"The three animations of visualized data charting Ailey’s impact on dance throughout time and space are an unexpected delight. [...] The animations are fascinating, quite beautiful and worth a view." @somethingmodern observer.com/2024/10/art-rev…

And it helps us understand the importance of Alvin Ailey not only as a choreographer but also as someone who shared a living history of dance with audiences around the world. Radical Accounting develops the model that we established during #dunhamsdata for museum publics.
