SPECIAL CONFERENCE EVENTS INCLUDE SWIPE, SPY MUSEUM RECEPTIONS
Freedom 2.0's Thursday night reception features the SWIPE Project, a performance piece addressing the gathering of data from driver's licenses. With one swipe -- often without notification or consent by the cardholder -- businesses acquires data that can be used to monitor and profile consumers. SWIPE draws attention to this practice and enables people to see exactly what is stored on their mysterious strip. The SWIPE project encourages public understanding of databases as a discursive, organizational practice and an essential technique of power in today's social field.
Friday night's reception will be held at the International Spy Museum, where conference attendees will have exclusive access to the museum's collection. The mission of the International Spy Museum is to educate the public about espionage in an engaging manner and to provide a dynamic context that fosters understanding of its important role in and impact on current and historic events. The Museum focuses on human intelligence and reveals the role spies have played in world events throughout history.
