Civic data – both captured and owned by the citizens for the citizens - seem to be crucial for addressing local issues affecting current and future generations. This data empowers citizens with the knowledge and resources to take action. As Big Techs collect more top-down data, civic data's value will continue to rise as a representation medium for local issues.
In this Weizenbaum-Forum, participants will discuss connections between civic data and counterdata production. For example, how do critical archival methods as seen within black studies inform how we think about (counter)data production? We discuss the potentials and limits of civic data and counterdata in promoting democratic participation by highlighting gaps existing in administrative statistics and big data generation, collection, and analysis.
