hi. my name is tom. I like stuff, y'know, ideas, pictures, movies, lists, things, fragments, objects, collisions, collusions, colloids, colours, chords, discord, elementary particles, & yoghurt. I like alliteration and polyphony and long words. I like geek and art, science and books, sincerity, sonambulism and math. I like synonyms, antonyms, homonyms and hymns; him, her, home but not ham. I like quiet, peace, solitude, singularities, solids, sounds and soft shoe shuffles. I dislike web profiles and my favourite colour is chocolate.
This is a data visualisation project, curating young people’s views on issues that matter, visualising the findings, and then setting the data free for you to do the same.
Did you know started out as a PPT presentation for a school in 2006 called Shift Happens.

Then became a YT phenomenon as Did You Know 2.0

So their camera uses license plate recognition; passes that to DVLA; gets the make and model; then tells you this & to go buy better engine oil for your make of car on a digital billboard directly ahead. Kinda cool, kinda freaky... as long as they don't follow it up with a direct mail piece then I'm OK with the use of that data (just). OK. No. I'm not happy with them using me driving my car as data capture. Why don't they just buy the data normally and mailshoot the entire driving community and personalise the mailout? this billboard would just freak me. And it probably will - it's just down the road.

Digital and stop-frame animation and regular footage. Kooky.
