Citizens Data Agency

Citizens Data Agency is an interactive exhibition of a fictional service provider proposing five speculative data support services, showcasing the outcomes of a series of co-design workshops, part of a year-long research project which aims to spark conversations about the challenges people will face around data privacy in the future and what kinds of support services we might need.

An Obscure Camera | Artist in Residence

We are delighted to announce Nic Sandiland, artist and co-founder of creative production company Flexer&Sandiland, as our Inspace Artist-in-Residence this June. The focus of Sandiland’s residency will be on An Obscure Camera, an immersive participatory light installation, incorporating a live camera feed, to explore notions of ‘following’, ‘public space’, ‘the everyday’ and the ‘camera’s gaze’.

“The BOX Will See You Now”   

Find out more about how ‘The BOX’ interactive artwork has come about including how it all started back in November 2023, when Scottish artist, scientist, and physician Fiona Smith visited Fraunhofer MEVIS in Bremen to develop this work and concept, as part of the “STEAM Imaging V” residency program.

The BOX

The BOX is an interactive installation by Dr Fiona Smith, Creator in Residence at Fraunhofer MEVIS, presented by the Institute for Design Informatics, exploring the practical and ethical implications of integrating AI technology into healthcare. Come explore the ‘black box’ aspect of AI technology in the context of digital medicine and journey into the internal and invisible workings of AI systems through the artwork.
