Announcing: Hyper-Public: A Symposium on Designing Privacy and Public Space in the Connected World June 9-10

Technology is transforming privacy and reshaping what it means to be in public. Our interactions—personal, professional, financial, etc.—increasingly take place online, where they are archived, searchable, and easily replicated. Discussions of privacy often focus solely on the question of how to protect privacy. But a thriving public sphere, whether physical or virtual, is also essential to society.

Hyper-Public: A Symposium on Designing Privacy and Public Space, hosted by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, will bring together computer scientists, ethnographers, architects, historians, artists and legal scholars to discuss how design influences privacy and public space, how it shapes and is shaped by human behavior and experience, and how it can cultivate norms such as tolerance and diversity.

The symposium will take place on the campus of Harvard University on June 9-10th.  Click here for more info.

The MIT GIS lab will be hosting the workshop: Visualizing Data with Google Fusion Tables and the Google Maps It will be held on Monday, February 28, 2-4pm in 32-155 (Stata Center). You will need to bring a laptop.
