Week 3: Big Data Is Watching: Pixels, Power and Politics
The Digital Age Talk with Carl Miller, Nathalie Nahai
This is Week 3 of advaya’s course: The Digital Age, hosted and curated by Nathalie Nahai.
Monday 24th April 2023, 5:00pm–7:00pm UK Time Zoom
This session zeroes in on the digital age to critically analyse how power and control are exerted in emerging and existing technologies. We look at data, the media, geopolitics, and surveillance capitalism. What really is the digital age bringing about? What lies at the centre of the technology around and inside us? What does that mean for individual freedom? In this session, we move away from the easy claim that robots will take over, and explore the more concrete reality of certain major players dominating instead—a path that we’re already going down.
