The Privacy Salon Art and Education Program.
Privacytopia is the umbrella for all artistic and educational initiatives of Privacy Salon and the CPDP (Computers, Privacy and Data Protection) Conference. Through exhibitions, symposia, workshops, and other formats, artists and non-artists alike explore the consequences of datafication for individuals and society. Themes include privacy, surveillance, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cyborgs, robotics, security, and more.
These issues are drawing widespread attention as they increasingly shape our everyday lives. But how do we critically engage with such complex concepts? How can we imagine the futures of our societies in the context of rapidly evolving technologies? What opportunities do they offer—and what challenges do they pose?
Privacytopia is an initiative of Privacy Salon, a Belgian non-profit organisation affiliated with the Free University of Brussels (VUB).
