After a brief discussion on the affordances the digital medium opens up for our collections, we have a closer look at how we may go about digitising texts and images, by converting them to binary number sequences. This provides us with a better understanding of the way in which data are stored on a computer, and how we may access and process them algorithmically later in the course.

This video was made for the Datalogical Thinking course, specifically its Module called: 'The World in Binary'. A large part of the video was directly copied from a video Wout originally made for a course called 'Technologies for Digital Libraries 1' at the University of Borås. Some voice over and slide images were added to contextualise the lecture in the Datalogical Thinking course.
