Abandon Normal Devices (AND) presents Data as Documentary: Workshop led by Graham Harwood :: October 1, 2011; 11:00 am - 2:00 pm :: FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), 88 Wood Street, Liverpool, L1 4DQ.

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.

YoHa are continuing a series of investigations into Databases, Power and Art that have included “Invisible Airs, Database, Expenditure, Power”
