A data set as a script?
Is it possible to reconstruct a person's life based on personal online data alone, without ever having met these people? This question is at the heart of the data experiment "Made to Measure."
Based solely on search queries, the artist group Laokoon creates the digital doppelganger of a person unknown to them. Together with an actress and a data analyst, Laokoon brings to life the stories hidden in the data. The group stages and films stations of the data donor over the last five years. At the end of the experiment, the real person and his "data-based" double meet. The result of the cross-media data experiment of film and interactive storytelling website is amazing and disturbing at the same time.
Gruppe Laokoon's work combines investigative research with various forms of artistic expression. This results in essays, documentaries, theater productions, lectures and radio plays on political and philosophical topics, always centering on the question of how our idea of man and society is changing in the digital age. Laokoon was awarded a Gold Winner of the "Information is Beautiful" Award in New York in November 2022.
