Background

The project is an abstraction of the interaction between a human and his/her data. As Bob van Luijt states on chds.io: "A human being is able to contextualize data, and it’s the context that gives data its value. But a computer merely observes my data, based on algorithms that try to give context. That context makes sense sometimes, but often it doesn’t make sense at all. In the meantime, the data just sits there as a source of information, without any meaning."
