A witty, exhilarating and mind-expanding exploration of the word of our times - data - with mathematician Dr Hannah Fry. Following in the footsteps of BBC Four's previous gleefully nerdy, award-winning maths films The Joy of Stats, Tails you Win - The Science of Chance and The Joy of Logic, this new high-tech romp reveals exactly what data is and how it is captured, stored, shared and made sense of. Fry also tells the story of the engineers of the data age, people most of us have never heard of despite the fact they brought about a technological and philosophical revolution.
For Hannah Fry, the joy of data is all about spotting patterns. She's Lecturer in the Mathematics of Cities at UCL as well as being the presenter of the BBC series Trainspotting Live and City in the Sky, and she sees data as the essential bridge between two universes - the tangible, noisy, messy world that we see and experience, and the clean, ordered, elegant world of maths, where everything can be captured beautifully with equations.
Along the way the film reveals the connection between Scrabble scores and online movie streaming, explains why a herd of Wiltshire dairy cows are wearing pedometers, and uncovers the remarkable network map of Wikipedia. What's the mystery link between 'marmalade' and 'One Direction'?
The Joy of Data also hails the giant contribution of Claude Shannon, the American mathematician and electrical engineer who, in an attempt to solve the problem of noisy telephone lines, devised a way to digitise all information. It was Shannon, father of the 'bit', who singlehandedly launched the 'information age'. Meanwhile, the green lawns of Britain's National Physical Laboratory host a race between its young apprentices in order to demonstrate how and why data moves quickly and successfully around modern data networks. It's all thanks to the brilliant technique first invented there in the 1960s by Welshman Donald Davies - packet switching - without which there would be no internet as we know it.
But what of the future, big data and artificial intelligence? Should we be worried by the pace of change, and what our own data could and should be used for? Ultimately, Fry concludes, data has empowered all of us. We must have machines at our side if we're to find patterns in the modern-day data deluge. But, Fry believes, regardless of AI and machine learning, it will always take us to find the meaning in them.
手术是新的性爱，吃塑料是新的反抗，打开自己是老一辈的艺术家。
可能觉得这种病态的迷恋的呈现对我来说还不够，我见过的最好的还要属《情迷画色》那样的
以往能用来“作为方法”的其实无一例外都是“他者”，是借异质存在来反思自我，而“把自己作为方法”则意味着自己既是主体又是客体，是自我中包含了他者，并对这样一个多元自我拉开距离观察，这本身就需要一种极强的反思能力。
小k灾难般的演技成为我评价掉星的最后一颗稻草，我不理解，这人是不是才从斯宾塞出来？演啥都一样。本质实际上和大多数科幻片有一致性，除了高概念外，还顺便侧重了环保主题，形式新了，却不怎么讨喜。或许以后真的懂了会回来改分。
身体真实终难胜过政治真实，晕目的风光也只被暗陨的凄凉代替。或许改造不等于进化，自然也天生建构不了理想。手术疮疤的反复开闭也只是开闭。
bullshit！我思修课的小组讨论都比这玩意儿有趣
欣赏不来，器官恐怖还不如那些纯粹的分尸血浆，到头来难道是个环保片？
Surgery is the new sex
Hard to get in at first, but not long after you'll realize it's still the 90s classic body horror Cronenberg, which not just those weird biomechanic machines, but the conflict, rebellion, evolution, so on and so forth. It's definitely the most sexualized Cronenberg movie. Everyone in the film is so obnoxious, but ultra seductive, except the black dude. WTF is that acting? Is that a joke?
人之肉身在柯南伯格自省的晚期作品《未来罪行》里再度成为所有关于“人”问题的战场。倘若这真是柯南伯格的最后一部作品，那我们可以放心的说，他对文化史最大的贡献，正是把所有“人”的问题变为身体的问题。他在影片里的替身纠结的是意义创建的问题。艺术家用自己身体从虚无中创造出的本是意义不明的器官，本该报名参加器官选美大赛中“功能不明类”的角逐。而他的对位则看到了创作的功能性，特别是在进化史意义上。最后改变了饮食习惯的艺术家思考的并不仅是未来人类的食物来源，更是如何在这个充斥着塑料文化的时代变废为宝的问题。这是这位饥饿艺术家走向后人类时代的第一步吗？他最后为后人类流下的怜悯热泪里又有多少成分是自怜？我们都无从得知。
脑回路非常清奇，一首环保诡歌，艺术风格的确独树一帜，但我记住的还是蕾雅的身体。。。
蕾雅也老了吖，可惜可惜，脸上没脂肪就是不大好看了，胸也缩水了，，娜奥米也是，脂肪量太低更显老，都不好认了，虽然线条气质依旧美。穆赫兰道那会儿多水嫩饱满啊
性、暴力、欲望，电影以及艺术无非就那么点事
我看不明白但我大为震撼。一切都没有道理，美学ok所有人creepy，真的看得人又饿又清醒。
应该是离戛纳最近的一次了吧，片名出现的时候简直想尖叫，这么快就公映了，荷兰人真有你的！如果surgery is the new sex的意思就是在无意义和痛苦中寻找意义的话还是蛮酷的，但是结尾莫名其妙转到基因修正这种把人工具化的old sex，最后真正在践行new sex的只有主角两人了吧。当代艺术一旦卷起来就很无聊了。Whatever，如果这代导演只剩一个酷小孩的话那一定是柯南伯格！
向前看，可能有片中之肿瘤美学、官能直播种种；向后看，必然有内卷三寸金莲等等。新瓶旧酒，聊有新意。
今天第五部，临近午夜、身体不适，但依然聚精会神地看完。还是牛，但略低于预期。
这部总体感觉柯南伯格在熟悉的bio horror之下隐藏了一些很私人的东西，hugo和lea的表演很精彩！
柯南伯格自己可能没接受，没想清怎么讲，对现实人类极限也欠缺了解。他自觉移挪来一些大胆概念，却保守地使用大段对白来解释。可惜，这剥夺了人物和表演的空间，让视听也不够极致。并不是它没有满足我，或者不想满足我，而是它像男主的老泪一样，让我无所适从。
与其说是body horror不如说是一场概念秀（in a good way，当然看起来也确实很疼），皮囊成了真正意义上的物理载体，而个体的精神流及理念是可以基于对器官的传统操作而被表达并被阐释的，因为“操作”本身就是装置，肉体是装置也是构建，这样的话无论是性还是精神还是繁衍与进化皆有了新的具体形态——此处是一种寓言式的未来，人类成了吞食塑料颗粒的海龟。这一部的柯南伯格简直成精了，概念的开发和对开发过程的强烈表达欲与维果和蕾老师两位完美地融合到了一起，同时丝毫不担心观众不买账。这种姿态真的好棒。小K讲实话不知道来干嘛的…
