Tenth Anniversary Artwork: Gao Ding’s Bits and 
Pieces

This digital collage draws on the Smithsonian’s open-access archive. 
By incorporating a diverse set of historical artworks and photographs 
juxtaposed with the use of browser windows to portray and contain 
these artworks, I point to our world’s contemporary challenges, including 
the fragmentation of bodies and lives incited by the datafication of our 
societies, generative artificial intelligence, and the systems of capitalism that 
undergird these processes and phenomena.

This image also embodies the diversity in scholarship that Catalyst has 
contributed to various interdisciplines, while deliberately paying homage to 
the interface between bodies, science, and technology.
