netidee SPECIAL PRIZE 2017: Big Poop Data / Robert Miller, Nico Rameder, Daniel Wetzelhütter, Max Wolschlager (all AT)
The toilet at Metalab in Vienna is the epicenter of the “Big Poop Data” project. Robert Miller, Nico Rameder, Daniel Wetzelhütter and Max Wolschlager equipped their crapper with a shitload of sensors as a means of gathering information about WC-goers’ use of toilet paper and water, as well as the average length of time they take to do their business. The purveyors of “Big Poop Data” intend this as a critical commentary on the increasingly pervasive obsession with digital data-gathering, and as an appeal to safeguard our digital privacy.
Big Poop Data was awarded with the netidee SPECIAL PRIZE in the category u19 - CREATE YOUR WORLD at the Prix Ars Electronica in 2017.
