Technology is now deeply embedded in our lives. It has provided us with incredible possibilities for communicating and sharing with each other, and making art and music, but the way systems are now being developed is raising many uncomfortable questions about who is in control and the sort of society we want to live in. The scale and speed of these developments, and their consequences for our liberty and happiness, is like a tsunami.  Can art help us to explore these contradictions?

 

"Once we searched Google, but now Google searches us. Once we thought of digital services as free, but now surveillance capitalists think of us as free."
