Ten years ago a small group of self-trackers began meeting in the San Francisco Bay Area to discuss what they were learning about themselves from their own data Since then, the Quantified Self has spread around the world. He will discuss the rise of the Quantified Self movement and the emerging practice of “personal discovery with everyday science”.
Gary Wolf is a journalist (e.g. “Wired”), author and co-founder of the Quantified Self movement. The focus here is on the use of digital hardware and software solutions to record, analyze and evaluate primarily environmental and personal data, e.g. for health or sports optimization.
The lecture by Gary Wolf and the subsequent discussion, moderated by Prof. Dr. Andreas Hepp, will take place at Café Karton, Am Deich 86, 28199 Bremen. Entry from 7 pm.
