Light Night Wigan 2025: Data Mining

Data Mining takes a creative and elemental journey through our industrial and geological heritage as we transition towards a greener future. It will mine for traces of memory and identity, seeking out poignant moments enmeshed in the fabric of objects and places, taking the idea of a subterranean world of memories connected to a re-wilding surface. A place where deep time, captured in the geology of an area perforated with mine shafts and underground galleries, combines with a parallel world of scanned and virtual copies. “Data Mining is both futuristic and ancient at the same time. It is hard to know whether we are going forward or backwards in time.”
