Making Information Matter - understanding surveillance and making a difference

What’s the matter with data?

Whether recorded, recoded or unregistered, information shapes our present and our future. With her new book Making Information Matter, Mareile Kaufmann, invites us to explore what it means to live with information. And what we can do to make it matter differently.

Welcome to a discussion with NRK beta’s Martin Gundersen and author Mareile Kaufmann. Hosted by Henrik Syse (PRIO) at Kulturhuset.

“... for anyone concerned with how information comes to matter, its dominant formations as data, and how data could be made differently”

— Lucy Suchman, Lancaster University

“If I had to name one book for understanding ‘information’ in the world today, this would be it. Kaufmann’s work is marvellously wide-ranging while maintaining intellectual rigour; and it’s fun”

— Geof Bowker, University of California, Irvine
