“The Muses are the daughters of Mnemosyne”

“Tracking down stories in data was like finding the needle in the haystack […] the best way to do that was to burn the haystack down. The reason this works is because in the real world the needle has different intrinsic properties to straw. In the digital world, to uncover the stories in data you look for the data with different intrinsic properties - the documents with the variations from the norm.”
