DÍGITS

DÍGITS

DÍGITS (DIGITS -from number to bit-) is a series of 50 videos and a website on numbers, measures, computations, computing tools and, specially, computers.

Through images from documentary archives, computer animations and Internet, DÍGITS describes ideas, characters and experiences of the past and the present of the digitalization of information and communications. Through understandable words and a lively rhythm, DÍGITS is adressed to everybody interested on this present time phenomenon and its varied applications.

The series was broadcasted in 2006 and 2007 through Canal K3/C33 of Televisió de Catalunya. Actually, all videos may be viewed on line through
Edu3.cat and some of them through YouTube.

For each chapter of the series, the website digits.cat shows the link to the video of Edu3.cat, the text and some frames. Each frame is accompanied by some Notes, with recommended links and additional information, and one or more Collaborations, which are commentaries on the person, the work or the concept represented by the frame. Thus it is more than a companion web: it allows to extend the knowledge suggested on the videos and it constitutes, by its own, a varied approximation to the subject.

DÍGITS is a coproduction by Televisió de Catalunya, Lavinia TV, La Productora and Docu.net
written and directed by Xavier Berenguer.
