SUMMARY:Distinguished Lectures in Computational Innovation featuring Stephanie Hankey\, Tactical Tech
DESCRIPTION:“Go to The Glass Room. If Black Mirror Had a Showroom\, This Would Be It.” – Baratunde Thurston \nNearly 150\,000 people in 30 countries have visited the Glassroom; an interactive public intervention reflecting on the impact of technology on society. As the doors of the Glassroom open in San Francisco\, its co-curator Stephanie Hankey gives a sneak preview of the conversation they expect to have as they bring this critical exhibition to the home of Big tech. Digging inside some of the issues presented there\, she will talk about Tactical Tech’s groundbreaking work investigating over 350 companies who sell personal data for political influence and why we should care. She will share insights from their latest work ‘Efficiency and Madness’ critiquing blindspots in technology design\, as well as their struggle to answer the most commonly asked question of all\, ‘what can we do?’. \nRegister to attend at brwn.co/tactical-tech \n  \nAbout Stephanie Hankey\nStephanie Hankey is a designer\, technologist\, and social entrepreneur who has worked internationally at the intersection of technology and human rights for the past 20 years.
