Meat Market by Daisy Thijssen examines how we consume meat, the taboos surrounding it and possible alternatives. In Crangon Crangon, Jade Ruijzenaars delves into the chemistry and biology of shrimp shells and the valuable substances that can be extracted from them. To give insight into each project, the launch will be accompanied by a short conversation between the authors and Florian Cramer, who is Reader in 21st Century Visual Culture at Research Center Creating 010 at Hogeschool Rotterdam.
Provoking Change #3: Reclaiming Privacy by Design
Ever since kings and landowners have started to tax their citizens, people were giving away their personal data. As technology improved, so did the ways for not only governments but also for corporations to gather data about people. Now, even individuals possess the power to completely steal other people’s identities. How much private information are we willing to give away for a discount on a product or for a promise of being protected against terrorism? How are these systems affecting your life? What’s the price of your privacy? How can designers, artists and hackers subvert these systems through design?
Experts in the field of data and design - Iohanna Nicenboim, David van Leeuwen en Gaspard Bos - will shed light on the matter and actively discuss their propositions with you. Iris Schutten will present Beyond Social, a platform for research on social design. Also, tonight you will find out how much privacy you actually have left in a hands-on way: bring your laptop or smartphone!
