A crit­i­cal reflec­tion on Big Data: Con­sid­er­ing APIs, researchers and tools as data mak­ers | Vis | First Monday

This is a great read on big data, argu­ing any data is not just found “out there”, but made, not just by peo­ple but also by tools and researchers. It’s kind of a Latouri­an take on big data. Also goes into James C Scott ter­ri­to­ry. Worth your time.
