Digital Heritage 'Big' Data Hacking & Visualisation

This workshop will discuss expressive uses of 'big data' visualisations to engage citizens with the results of research into the human past and its contemporary legacies.

It will bring together perspectives coming from the creative arts, design, software development, cultural heritage and museum studies.

Speakers will reflect over the principles that could and should be driving the development of digital applications for the public interpretation and communication of heritage research that is based on the analysis of relatively large, varied and rapidly changing quantities of data extracted from web infrastructures.

Speakers include specialists in the field from the Berkman Klein Centre for Internet and Society at Harvard University, Michigan State, Carleton University, the UCL Big Data Institute, the British Museum and the UCL Institute of Archaeology.
