We are surrounded by machines, digital technology devices such as computers, telephones, etc. Each of them produces data endlessly, so what can be done? How to treat all this digital information which has become an integrate part of our lives. The exhibition is atypical as Terra Data was designed with the help of the public according to a participative processes which involved 70 volunteers.
At the entrance, pay attention to Serge Abiteboul, research director at Inria, who gives the first key to understanding this problem. Why should we be interested in digital data today? What is massive data analysis, how to transform this data into usable knowledge, follow the algorithms… have fun while making the knot of your tie according to an algorithm, discover all there is to know about cookies, try to erase your digital records, etc.
