WhereCamp 2009 – ‘Curating Big Data’ with Aaron Cope from Flickr and Tom Carden from Stamen from Christopher Osborne on Vimeo.

Creating meaning from “the abundance of data produced in the precise but distant language of machines”.

Tom Carden from Stamen Design and Aaron Cope from Flickr talk about massive machine generated datasets in general, and the Flickr Alpha Shapes project in particular. Reverse geocoding the geotag of user contributed photos to Flickr to create epresentations of psychogeographic space.
