Data rush

About this book

This book is published to accompany the 22nd edition of the Noorderlicht International Photofestival. Curated by Wim Melis, the main exhibition Data Rush explores the ubiquity of broadband Internet access, how inextricably our on- and offline lives have become intertwined, and privacy and the amassing of big data. Photography can be viewed as a prime exchange currency between the offline world and the digital environment, reflected in the work by participating photographers such as Christopher Baker, Arantxa Gonlag, Thiemo Kloss, Laís Pontes, and many more. Also included are works from the festival's two additional exhibitions, Pulse and Making Oneself. Exhibition: Several locations, Groningen, The Netherlands (23.08.-11.10.2015).
