A new exhibition called "Big Bang Data" houses provocative artwork that takes data from platforms like Facebook and turns them into a visual compilation of a sometimes unfathomable data-driven world.
The exhibition debuted last Thursday at Somerset House in London, England, and runs until Feb. 28, 2016. It features various international artists such as Ryoji Ikeda, James Bridle and Eva and Franco Mattes.
