The LawTech Collider project is preparing its first collision of law, art and tech for exhibition as part of ESRC’s 2024 Festival of Social Science.
Under the Festival’s theme of Our Digital Lives, the exhibition will display specially commissioned artwork to playfully and interactively probe the pact we enter when we sign up to use apps for free. We’ve all clicked ‘I agree’ to Privacy Polices without reading them, and so knowingly or uncaringly agree to exchange our data for using the app.
Using creative practice, gamification and interaction, the exhibition interrogates the power imbalance and law around the trade-off we happily make that places the individual and their data in sharp contrast to the giant corporate data processors.
The artworks are the creative endeavours of colleagues from the Belfast School of Art in response to the legal scholarship of colleagues from the Legal Innovation Centre and the wider School of Law.
Dates: Opening Night Thursday 24th October by invitation only. Friday 25th October to Saturday 2nd November 2024, closed on Sunday & Monda
Location: Belfast Exposed, Studio Gallery (1st floor), Donegall Street, Belfast.
Entry: Free
