Sovereign Body | DATAS Symposium

Symposium on Data Sovereignty, Digital Bodies, and Technological Power 👥

Join us for the Sovereign Body symposium, a continuation of the DATAS: Data and Sovereignty project and its exhibition at Galerie Rudolfinum. This engaging event will gather artists, theorists, researchers, and students to explore the contemporary experience of bodily sovereignty amidst the pervasive data collection.

Key Questions:

• How do technologies shape our sense of self, agency, mortality, and embodiment?
• What kinds of digital doubles emerge from our data traces?
• What happens to these data bodies after us? 💾
