Both Viegas and Wattenberg are also known for their visualization-based artwork, which has been exhibited in venues such as the London Institute of Contemporary Arts and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

They are currently exploring the power of web-based visualization and the social forms of data analysis it enables.
