What It Looks Like To Step Inside The Internet

A new exhibition called "Big Bang Data " houses provocative artwork that takes data from platforms like Facebook and turns them into a visual compilation of a sometimes unfathomable data-driven world.

The exhibition debuted last Thursday at Somerset House in London, England, and runs until Feb. 28, 2016. It features various international artists such as Ryoji Ikeda , James Bridle and Eva and Franco Mattes .

Check out some of the artwork below.
