A journalist called Yvonne Volkart contacted me last year to ask if she could use some references to the ‘Dr Hairy in: Big.Data’ videos in an article she was preparing for the Austrian magazine springerin<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

Springerin<\/em> is ‘a quarterly magazine dedicated to the theory and critique of contemporary art and culture… Artists, gallerists, collectors, art pedagogues are served by springerin<\/em> as well as readers from the field of the humanities and those generally interested in new media and popular culture.’<\/p>\n

\"volkart_springerin_bigdata\"<\/a>She’s just sent me a copy of the article, which appeared in the last edition of the magazine last year – she says she didn’t let me know earlier because she hoped it might\u00a0 be made available online, but it hasn’t been.

Brilliant!<\/p>\n

An Austrian TV series is surely bound to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
