To be chaired by Phil Hammond (LSBU) and yours truly. Saturday 14 November @ Watermans, as part of Being Human festival of the humanities, free admission -book now! Though social networks are at the heart of how we live, circulating knowledge and fostering innovation, they are also closely monitored, leading to hyper-centralised forms of surveillance. This symposium studies how people contribute to ‘a permanent capture of life into data’ through daily routines of surfing, shopping, and lifelogging. It will bring together artists, academics, technologists and users, to instigate public debate around issues of privacy in relation to big data capture, raise awareness regarding the scale and applications of those phenomena, propose ways of responding to loss of privacy, and consider avenues for resistance to the risks of self-quantification. Chaired by Dr Maria Chatzichristodoulou aka Maria X and Prof. Phil Hammond (London South Bank University) Speakers: Nick Tandavanitj (Blast Theory), Anna Dumitriu, Sarah T Gold, Marc Garrett (Furtherfield), Daphne Dragona (Transmediale), Dr Maria Sourbati (University of Brighton), Dr Perry Keller (King's College), Emilie Giles and Alan Waldock, Prof. James Connely (University of Hull).

To make sure we have a full house we allocate more tickets than there are seats. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people.
