Description
What is the meaning of data beyond its value-laden content? We Need Us draws metadata from the activities of citizen science site Zooniverse’s million+ participants to create an ever-growing environment of sounds and animated forms. Unlike traditional data visualisation, which helps us understand and make sense of information from large data sets, We Need Us explores the unique properties of the data itself: its distinct, living qualities and particular characteristics, such as growth, velocity and fragility.
