Goodbye Privacy Symposium I

No Privacy - No Autonomy!

What is the value of privacy? According to the classical interpretation of Modernity, the private sphere is a precondition for autonomy and the capacity of the individual to act. Being able to discuss issues in a context in which ones privacy is protected is a necessary requirement for the existence of a critical public in a democratic society. Can this view of the private sphere still be maintained before the backdrop of terror and Web 2.0?

Goodbye Privacy Symposium II

Identity 2.0 - Reclaiming Sovereignty

Public spaces are increasingly under permanent surveillance—via CCTV cameras in the streets and “dataveillance” in the registers of the information miners and processors. How can the private sphere be reconceptualized so that personal sovereignty doesn’t get lost completely? Could it be possible to construct an “Identity 2.0” that’s custom-tailored to the new technical and social facts of life?

more than memories

Ars Electronica 2007 Opening Event

The Festival’s grand opening evening event will take place at Linz’s Botanical Garden and in the so-called Aktienkeller, a cave-like gallery beneath the garden—two places that served during the Nazi era as subsidiary camps of the nearby Mauthausen concentration camp. Creative artists from around the world will utilize artistic means that bring forth highly individual worlds of thought, image and sound to raise issues having to do with memories, the part they play in visions and utopias, as well as the fundamental right of artistic freedom.
