EVENT DETAILS
Data drives the software services most of us use constantly, yet we still want to retain some privacy. We are networked, mobile & connected to algorithms measuring & reflecting our inner & outer states. How much of this feedback is useful & when do these systems overreach? Governments, due to their nature, are guardians of vast troves of data about citizens & infrastructure. What kinds of data do they have, what can we do with the data & where are the boundaries for its reuse?

James Burke has a wide perspective on the use of data he's participated in movements to improve government data transparency, as the cofounder of an open government organization in the Netherlands; he's used data to detect network tampering as the creator of the Chokepoint Project, a response to the Arab Spring shutdown of the Internet in Egypt; & he's pushed the boundaries of self-quantification, as an organizer of the Quantified Self community in Europe.

He will share lessons learned from those experiences & discuss where we draw the line on asking for data from people & how that line is changing.
