For the 5th episode of The Digital Deal Podcast, we sat down with Meredith Whittaker of Signal and artist Calin Segal to talk about surveillance and the concentration of power in the hands of a few tech companies. The two of them quickly took the conversation from gloomy to hopeful, focusing on practices at the edges of power that create openings into what may seem an inescapable panopticon society.

When bombs fall, the ground for renewal becomes scarce. When negative stereotypes shape social consciousness, freedom of expression is in danger. When containers are used to block protest movements, the dream of freedom and justice is shattered. When our world is plagued by crises and conflicts, humanity is more important than ever. Freedom of art and freedom of expression are components of our pluralistic society – and it is precisely these that State of the ART(ist), a project by Ars Electronica and the Bundesministerium für europäische und internationale Angelegenheiten (MFA Austria), aims to strengthen and make creative voices heard that are suppressed in their home regions.   Learn more about State of the ART(ist) and the projects displayed at the Ars Electronica Festival 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/dQkF74p7 #arselectroncia24 #whowillturnthetide

With “HOPE – who will turn the tide?” we focus on change makers and real-world solutions in Ars Electronica Festival 2024. Our measures are deeply influenced by circular economy, whether it’s the reusable cups in festival gastronomy or the architecture of all exhibitions. We raise awareness for sustainability among our visitors, involve our partners in our guidelines and partner up with (local) companies to find the most sustainable solutions for the festival. After all, only together can we bring about meaningful change. We are guided by the 17 sustainability goals set forth in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Certain fields of action require particular thought, such as mobility, catering & food and event location (which includes energy, water, sanitation, technology and equipment, procurement & waste, social responsibility and communication).
