Data Stacks is a modular exhibition space for student work around data visualization concerning environmental themes. The project was initiated and directed by Art, Media and Design professor Lucy HG Solomon, sustainability manager Juliana Goodlaw-Morris, library associate dean Char Booth, CSUSM facilities manager Bryan Fisher along with Randall Hegner and a cohort of passionate media design students of DaTA Lab (Laboratory for Data and Transdisciplinary Art).

The Data Stacks structure was designed across several semesters, with Lucy HG Solomon’s students in DaTA Lab creating concepts and crafting models for the structure. DaTA Lab artists Kodie Gerritsen and Calab Rabadan worked steadily on the project, and CSUSM carpenter Randall Hegner materialized the structure, building the stacks in an iterative process that included student designs. Data Stacks is supported by a CSU Campus As a Living Lab grant.
