THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT DATA: Some thoughts on information loss What's lost is always greater than what's recovered. What is recovered isn't necessarily the truth. Zeros and ones are easy to manipulate – but core intentions are harder to misconstrue. No pixels are permanent – eventually all fades to noise. Detail and depth differ – precision doesn't necessarily wisdom employ. All data can be contextualized, marginalized, & de-problematized – Packeting is paramount. ===================================================================================== from _Cyberpoems: Exploring the Human-Machine Interface_ by T Newfields SUMMARY: Reflections on the limitations of information.
