Sex workers have always been at the vanguard of technology—in ways that protect and restrict their rights. Laws and policies that impact sex workers never stop at this population so it is imperative that these case studies reach general audiences concerned with human rights as a whole. This talk will include a history of surveillance mechanisms directed against sex workers and will focus on the ways and means that digital surveillance has been impacting sex worker rights of mobility and free expression in recent years. New laws enforcing the censorship of pornography and the collateral damages they levy on reproductive health and LGBTQ+ community building will be discussed as well as border crossing and payment processing. Information about how AI and facial recognition software target sex workers will be detailed as well as the tools, advocacy, social engineering strategies sex workers can use to fight back.
This talk is not limited to sex workers and their allies. It will include a primer on why sex worker rights include all human rights and show evidence that these laws are not limited to sex workers at all. LGBTQI+ people and reproductive health activists will be immediately impacted as well as all people who believe in the freedom of information.

This creative workshop is about sports and surveillance. We love games and sports, we want to have fun and play together, support our favorite teams ... but ... drones are following us, cameras are watching, coupled with biometric algorithms they are inspecting our "suspicious" behaviours: how we move, what we wear, if lying down or staying still for too long, if shouting loud or holding objects, if drinking, smoking, kissing, breathing ... Let's fight this surveillance, let's imagine together ...

As dystopia seems just around the corner with state control and surveillance capitalism wanting to finish closing down on us, GNU Taler might be one of the (hopefully many) reasons to hope that our dreams may soon bring bits of lovable reality. With 2 upcoming Swiss deployments, real payments with Taler will finally be available this coming winter. As online solution for Basel local currency and a few months later as online payment in Swiss Francs. That means privacy preserving online payment ...

What does GPT-4 know about people like me? This interactive workshop peeks under the hood of large language models to understand what goes into the datasets that shape them. We will discuss how these giant text corpora represent us in ways that feel hollow, harmful, and incomplete. I will share my analysis of existing datasets in an artistic research context, plus collaborative research that proposes building alternative models, methods, and datasets featuring texts that orient toward life and ...
