DDDC Pilot. Conversation: Data Commons and breaches in Surveillance Capitalism

Digital Democracy and Data Commons is a pilot participatory process oriented to test a new technology to improve the digital democracy platform Decidim and to collectively imagine the data politics of the future. This pilot takes place in the context of the European project DECODE (Decentralized Citizen Owned Data Ecosystem) that aims to construct legal, technological, and socioeconomic tools that allow citizens to take back control over their data and generate more common benefits out of them. The pilot is led by the Barcelona Digital City (Barcelona City Council) and the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (CN&SC - Tecnopolitica and Dimmons research groups of the IN3), in collaboration with the Nexa Center of Internet & Society, Eurecat, CNRS, Dribia, aLabs, Thoughtworks and DYNE.

Program

The new forms of capitalism rely on data, platforms and surveillance. To dismantle them requires cultivating the weapons of criticism, art and conversation. In this face-to-face encounter, with the serenity that allows us to listen to the din of technology, we will explore the gaps in current capitalism that point to other possible alternatives.
 
In the context of the production, experimentation and artistic research centre Hangar, we will hold a meeting that, starting from the analyses and proposals of the DECODE project and the DDDC pilot, will transit between diagnosis and prognosis, between dissection and speculation, between hegemony and its alternatives, with the word and the body as hyperlinks between personal experience and global pre-occupation.
 
This action, promoted by Tecnopolítica (CN&SC research group of the IN3) with the collaboration of the Dimmons research group of the IN3 and Becoming, is part of the DDDC (Digital Democracy and Data Commons) pilot of the European project DECODE.
