The PhD workshop DATAFIED RESEARCH was a cooperation between transmediale, Aarhus University, and School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong. It took place from 17 to 22 October 2014 in Hong Kong and was related to the theme of transmediale 2015 CAPTURE ALL. In this context, the workshop aimed at questioning the quantification of all aspects of life. It sought out analyses and responses that “outsmart and outplay” the logic of capturing everything applied by corporate as well as scientific communities.
