It’s become a cliché to say data is the new oil. That isn’t the full story. For centuries it has proved itself to be infinitely reusable.
About this Event

It’s become a cliché to say data is the new oil. That isn’t the full story. For centuries it has proved itself to be infinitely reusable. It has enabled the creation and reinforcement of collective memory. It has been documented in innumerable formats, from maps to databases, taxonomies and infographics. We make sense of the world through the technology we use to process and visualise data. This lecture explores our enduring love for it.

A lecture by  Professor Victoria Baines

This event is also available to watch live online. To register, visit:  gres.hm/data-love-story
