Imagine how many emails crowd your inbox every day. Now, multiply that by the number of people in the country, and then the world.
That's a mad amount of data, and we're not even counting the sheer volume of photographs, text messages, blog posts, songs and videos flying through the Internet every day. It's unimaginable - almost.
At Big Bang Data - sorry K-pop fans, it's got nothing to do with the boy band - this staggering amount of data is materialised into large-scale art installations that are beautiful, surprising and somewhat eccentric.
Weekender headed down for a preview, and here are the most noteworthy (and Instagram-worthy) works in the gallery.
7. Cap off with a contribution
A common feature of most ArtScience Museum exhibitions is their interactivity, and for Big Bang Data, you’ll get to fill in your own thoughts on data after going through the gallery.
The interesting bit is that your input will be integrated into the display and be transformed into a piece of data too, as the shade of your card will reflect your age group.
