Exhibition
The exhibition will help in collaboration with designer Richard Vijgen the public to understand and experience some of the issues around data and its often invisible impact on our everyday lives. The Embassy of Data will serve as the centre of an area. Within this space, we will collect as much data as we can about the visitors and the area. What data are being collected here? Where are the sensors and the cameras? Where and how is your phone tracked via Wi-Fi? Which Dutch and international companies and municipal agencies will get access to the information gathered? What kind of data will be stored, where, and for how long? Which laws apply? Who is in charge? Which rules are being followed? The Embassy of Data will seek to help people understand a process that normally takes place invisibly and/or behind closed doors.
