Neuroprivacy in Arts and Culture

SEE EVENT DETAILS
If our thoughts and emotions no longer belong to us, can art exist?

It is not all doom and gloom, but the urgency of this conversation is undeniable. As wearables spread and neural data collection remains largely unregulated, questions around cognitive liberty, mental privacy, and the role of art and culture in disrupting surveillance capitalism are becoming harder to ignore.

On April 3, Gray Area presents Neuroprivacy in Arts and Culture, a symposium convening artists, researchers, technologists, and advocates at the intersection of bioscience and creative practice to discuss the cultural, ethical, legal, and political implications of brain-interfacing technologies.

Join Amy Karle, Barbara Nerness, Gary Wolf (Quantified Self), Guadalupe Hayes-Mota, Kim Old (EMOTIV), Jaron Lanier, and Rhonda Holberton as they engage in conversation with each other and the audience about the cultural, ethical, legal, and political implications of the use of wearables and biodata-collection devices in artistic practice and research. The discussion will be steered by Barry Threw.
Presented in partnership with EMOTIV.
