Copy that? Surplus Data in an Age of Repetitive Duplication, 04 February, Shoreditch London

We’re joining the Open Data Institute in London for a sneak preview of a new exhibition in London which includes robots (yes! - there is a hot-pink ‘puppet-robot-hybrid’ who wants to chat) and explores “how ‘true’ is the data ‘you’?  From the myth of the perfect digital copy to the benefits and pitfalls of simulation, It raises questions about the purpose and trustworthiness of incessantly reproduced data.

Newly commissioned artworks on display are: Google mistranslated versions of William Blake’s poem Jerusalem, poems drawing on histories of human relationship alongside the blur and noise of technical evolutions and a digital pinball machine offering a neurodiverse experience of the city. Artists are Mr Gee, Alistair Gentry and Ben Neale, Edie Jo Murray & Harmeet Chagger-Khan.

Thank you for the invite - we’re delighted to accept
