In the Algorithmic Kitchen of Luis Rodil-Fernández we will learn how algorithms are made. During this workshop you will make your own and we will let it crunch its logic on a large database of fine cuisine. Together we will cook the tastiest outcomes, so that you can have your cake and eat it too.

Recipe for understanding big data

Serves: 20 people

Prep time: 8 hours

For the context sauce:

3 million bots on Twitter
1L of personal information bubble, crushed
several fortunes made and unmade over lines of code
1 tsp of "software will eat the world"
200 gr of black box opacity, as opaque as possible
1 very large piece of influence
1 very very large cloud

For the cake of understanding:

1L thousand recipes
2220 ingredients
1 database
1 API or programming interface
2 sleeves, rolled up
a pinch of salt
a crack of pepper

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients for the context sauce in a large bowl and let them sit for a while. You will know they are ready when you start seeing ads following you everywhere you go.

On a separate tray, prepare your personal data and let it simmer on an online pressure cooker for about a year, until multiple digital personalities ferment and have a life of their own.

Serve warm and in good company. Goes well with bubbles or nutty liqueurs.
