Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Rodley_Burrell_datafiction Title A name given to the resource Data Fiction v0.1 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Rodley, Chris Burrell, Andrew Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013-ongoing Description An account of the resource It's often said that dialogue in fiction is determined by the conventions of the novel, rather than by the way that people actually speak. However, artist Andrew Burrell and writer Chris Rodley aim to change all that by creating the world's first data-driven novel. With the tremendous growth of social media, the internet has become an ever-expanding repository of stories created by individuals sharing their personal milestones and tragedies online. Ninety percent of the world's data has been created in the last two years and dataFiction v0.1 aims to mine this vast resource in order to discover how people tell their stories in real life. Chris Rodley tells me that if you search a fairly standard phrase, such as 'You have beautiful eyes,' you hit on some rather surprising, yet common combinations. For example, 'You have beautiful eyes and a moustache,' which is not something that you would expect to read in a novel. The challenge for dataFiction v0.1 is to curate these snippets of stories into a novel-length narrative. I can't wait to see what they come up with. In the meantime, it was compelling enough to watch those partial narratives flash across the screen.<br /><a href="http://visual.artshub.com.au/news-article/news/visual-arts/top-5-artworks-from-electro-nerds-196910">Anne Phillips, blog Visual Arts Hub</a> <strong>Artist Statement</strong><br />We live in an age of big data, when much of what we say and do is captured and stored in vast, searchable databases.
