About the Show
Through the illegal collection of user data, Consumer Electronic Corporations are able to train machines to make more and more accurate predictions about how people will plan, sense, and act. But how accurate do these corporations have the right to make those predictions?
The artists in this show are critical of the political, economic, and social climate which these technologies and corporations enable, and call out the ways technology is used to cause harm to people and the environment.
We invite you to watch and listen to this one night exhibit in Downtown Elgin.
