Dear all, This is a friendly reminder of our next workshop at SPEKTRUM [Berlin]. There's still some room left.
"Data Mercenaries: data guerrilla in the age of cognitive warfare" Algorithms unfold as key agents in the construction and operation of surveillance capitalism, becoming powerful autonomous governance entities invisible to the eyes of the global citizenship. Despite of its crucial role in processing and executing most of our society's daily individual and collective transactions, we have very little information on the design and functionality of this ubiquitous intangible agents and about the deep social, economical and emotional implications that its actions have over our day to day lives. This two-day workshop aims at revealing, connecting and understanding the many actors that come together in the configuration of the surveillance capitalism ecosystem by forensically analyzing the way governmental agencies and corporations take over networks and algorithms in order to surveil, profile and control millions of citizens on a regular basis.
