Data as Documentary

About

Location: Medialab @ FACT To book, please email hello@andfestival.org.uk. Databases carry the same seeds of creativity that early documentary makers saw in film. Both can empower people by helping them to master information; equally, both can be misread for the purposes of propaganda and deception. This workshop explores how art and its methods can critically reflect on the power of databases, taking as its first case study the record of birth registrations held by the Office of National Statistics. Produced in collaboration with Primary Care Trust Liverpool and YoHa.
