Description
Look into your online life - The Glass Room
You are cordially invited to visit the Glass Room! A pop-up ‘tech space with a twist’ opening its doors in New York City, from Nov. 29th until Dec 14th.
Walk by the storefront window of the Glass Room and it looks like a slick, clean-lined tech and lifestyle store. At first glance, it offers the latest in shiny digital consumer products, such as the newest tablet or fitness tracker. But go inside, you will find there’s nothing for sale.
Instead, as you look closer at the ‘products’ on display, you are presented with works of art that take a look behind the screens and into the hidden world of what happens to your data.

Instead of corporate staff, you are met by a team of tech advisors with a different focus; ‘inGenious’ experts that are on hand to answer the questions raised by the exhibit, engage you in conversation and help you with alternatives, and privacy tips and tricks.
Despite first appearances, the Glass Room provides a very different consumer experience, one that allows visitors to re-evaluate how we use technology and how much we reveal about ourselves when we use it.
Through the work of artists, technologists and activists, you will find projects, products and stories that invite you to look into your online life from different perspectives.
'Something to Hide' looks at what happens when you exchange your data in return for free services.
'Normal is Boring' explores what the different sides of the Silicon Valley bubble are.
'Big Mother' asks if corporations and states are using surveillance not to watch us, but to take care of us.
'Open the Box' shows you what your data looks like from the other side of your screen and how is it used by others.
Finally, at 'The Data Detox Bar' meet our team of 'inGeniousworkers', explore your own data traces and learn how to use a selection of free, alternative apps, as well as take away our '7 day Data Detox'.
