big bang data, somerset house, tejka
‘inspiring and innovative, big bang data, was a major exhibition at Somerset House, where artists, designers and innovators explored how data is transforming our world. this piece by Tejka follows three real-time information streams: twitter, instagram and transport for London. the data is presented once in its raw format, as a wall of data that pulses and updates dynamically, revealing the sheer volume of data produced by the city. mirroring this data wall the same three streams of data are visualised as a live map and interactive explorations that provide real-time analysis to investigate what London is feeling, seeing and how it is moving at this very minute. it also aims to provoke a conversation about how much data we generate, and how much of this information is openly available to us’
i initially was drawn to the projections in this project, inspiring me to explore this in a potential installation piece. looking to explore matriarchal patterns and holograms of individuals. holograms would be an interesting concept to explore throughout this project
