The Asian debut of Big Bang Data transforms the vast amount of data that the world is generating daily – from emails, selfies, Google searches and online purchases – into large-scale, immersive art installations and contemporary artworks.

Big Bang Data – an exhibition which debuted in Barcelona in 2014, then Madrid and London, sees artists, designers, journalists and visionaries present data in tangible – and often beautiful – ways, while raising questions and exploring issues about personal privacy.

“Having data means there’s now this possibility of scientific research, which also opens a new way we approach and make decisions, in political, social and economic situations. Today, important key terms used in this new world include data, metadata, algorithms, prediction, pattern – we’re used to hearing about them,” says Olga Subiros, Big Bang Data’s co-curator.
