In their original context, the videos were intended to market data analytic products to government agencies and corporations to use for marketing and public dataveillance. Participants can select between the different trope compilations via a control panel. By recombining the common metaphors used to promote data analytics products, Computational Fables reveals the false promises and mythologies inherent in the industry’s rhetoric.
Support for Computational Fables was provided by Northeastern University's Dean's Fellowship for Data Storytelling and Boston Cyberarts Gallery. This project is a collaboration with Derek Curry.
