In this episode, Michael talks with Gary Wolf, founder of the Quantified Self, who will discuss how new self-tracking and personal data systems may change our ideas about “public knowledge.”
Gary Wolf is a writer and contributing editor at America’s Wired magazine. Among his other Wired stories, Wolf is the author of “The Curse of Xanadu,” about Ted Nelson and Project Xanadu and “The World According to Woz”, about Steve Wozniak.
In 2007, with Kevin Kelly, Wolf co-founded the Quantified Self, a collaboration of users and tool makers who share an interest in self-knowledge through self-tracking. In 2010, he spoke about the movement at TED.
