Etraces

The e-traces project approaches Web 2.0 in the context of a society under an increasing electronic surveillance. It is articulated around 3 axes :

A website of information collected online (articles, links, files).
A game, Yoogle!, released in a beta version, which makes it possible to play the roles of the various actors involved in the market of personal data: users, companies, States, system administrators.
Workshops and presentations.

Guest of the Day

Nicolas Malevé (BE) is an artist, software programmer and data activist who lives between Brussels and Barcelona. He develops multimedia projects and web applications for and with cultural organisations. His current research is focused on cartography, information structures, metadata and the means to visually represent them.

Since 1998 Nicolas collaborates with Constant, a non-profit association, based and active in Brussels since 1997 in the fields of feminism, copyright alternatives and working through networks. Constant develops radio, electronic music and database projects by means of migrating from cultural work to work places and back again.
