The Digital Cultures Research Centre are proud to host a one day workshop entitled ‘Pervasive or Invasive?’ in the Pervasive Media Studio Bristol on Friday, March 5th 2010. The day brings cutting edge research to the Pervasive Media design community.
The day will start at 9.30 with an introduction to the structure of the event and what outcomes we are hoping for. The symposium has been designed to allow as much participant involvement as possible, with a mixture of short presentations and discussion workshops. Each presenter will speak for 15 minutes, with 5 minutes allowed afterwards for quick questions. The speakers are:

The Privacy Delusion: Today’s technology allows the collection and exploitation of a vast amount of diverse data. As we go about our everyday lives, we leave behind a permanent trail of personal data, that is never deleted but instead carefully analysed, and even traded, to model our behaviour and – in some cases – to try and influence it.

Pervasive Majority: When so much decision-making is delegated today to profiling software, intelligent agents, search algorithms and realtime marketing opportunism, the majority becomes increasingly ‘minoritised’, infantilised, that is, deprived of the ‘savoir faire’ on the basis of which one can discern, evaluate and decide for oneself.

Ethical Design in Pervasive Media: Some Principles.
Deciding what ethical principles should govern the practice of pervasive media design, it is first necessary to understand
a) how ethical codes operate;
b) what kind of ethical governance is appropriate to design
c) what are the distinct ethical parameters of pervasive media.
