CENTER FOR DIGITAL VELFÆRD

James Maguire hosts this series of five podcasts documenting the project 'DATA AS RELATION'. Data as Relation explores how big data is generated, negotiated and used in governance. The hypothesis of the project is that the use of big data and digitalization in the public sector and governance is not a mere technical upgrade of infrastructures, but implies a reinvention of society itself. The goal of the project is to study how innovative new data usage for decision making make new relations emerge between government, private companies, and citizens.

The Data as Relation project is funded by the Velux Foundation (funding ID 12823)

In this episode, James Maguire interviews Andrew Clement, who invites us into the world of data infrastructures that are both material, historical, social, and regulatory. We hear about the role of state agencies in surveillance and learn how to think through ‘the cloud’. After having listened, you will never think of the internet in quite the same way again.
