Data is everywhere. Man and beast have harvested it since time immemorial and in various ways to gain an advantage. And the use cases are as manifold and diverse as the world around us. Even bees convey spatial information by performing a special waggle dance to inform their fellows about rich food sources.
Meanwhile, us humans are taking it to the extreme in almost all areas of life: with the help of data, we navigate, build and examine. Thus, data are our greatest source of knowledge. To tap its power, we turn it into information that can be understood and used to build bridges – literally and metaphorically.
