"[He] makes his playful data mashups into sculptures using retired gadgets... Like a field scientist of the information age, Schwartz filters an overwhelming amount of data through the intuitive logic of old-fashioned tools such as weather gauges, maps, and charts. Taken together, his works constitute a kind of contemporary natural history museum in which we are the subjects being examined." -Lamar Clarkson, Modern Painters Magazine
