EDMONTON — Super Channel announced today a new six-part original documentary series produced by Toronto-based Shark Teeth Films, Secrets of Big Data (above), will premiere on Super Channel Fuse on July 4 at 8 p.m. ET.
All six episodes will also be available to stream on Super Channel On Demand the same day.
“This series tells the stories of the future that big data is bringing to our doorsteps; the extreme adventures in gathering remote data; the real world dangers of predictions; artificial intelligence and sentient machines, and hacks and exploits that expose our darkest secrets to the world,” explains a press release.
“In four stories each episode, experts contribute their hypotheses as the narrator unfolds the elements, telling the story through archive imagery, stock footage, and a data driven approach to motion graphics and CGI.”
Among the stories in the first episode, “Beat Down by Data”, is that of a British warship having “its location mysteriously faked when its automated tracking data is compromised, sparking a tense military standoff with Russian forces in the Black Sea,” the release says.
