Wow! Mind blowing and fascinating. That was my impression of the Big Bang Data exhibition currently on at Somerset House in London. The creativity of the exhibitors was inspiring. I loved the Dear Data concept: 2 friends, one each side of the Atlantic agreed to record a different type of data each week for a year and then display it in a form of their choice. One week they recorded laughter, another bird song, another their partner, another complaints. With only 52 weeks in a year how did they narrow down all the possibilities? They then chose to send their displayed data to each other using the post – I loved that! The impact of receiving something in the post was greater that receiving it by email. Fancy that?
