The Quantified Self: Exploring the World of Self-Tracking: From steps and heart rates to moods and sleep patterns, quantifying ourselves is becoming an increasingly relevant cultural phenomenon. In this episode, five students of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (Pascalle, Jette, Justine, Clara, and Tara) share their months-long research conducted as part of their Marble Research Based Learning Project. Discover the impacts of data and tracking on our understanding of ourselves, the privacy and security data risks associated with the practice, and what the future of self-tracking might look like.
