About us

About Privacytopia
Privacytopia is a NOMADIC arts festival, traveling to a new European city each year. It is a celebration of privacy, with a holistic view on the future we share with a digital world. Through the filter of the artist’s gaze, we research the sense and non-sense of the digital age. Data usage is handy, it’s all around us and it doesn’t go away. It helps many of us to find what they are looking for: friends, jobs, a location, an identity, transport, a hotel… It is an extension of our brain, it helps us with keeping healthy or pay for coffee, cloths, or food.
