Description
Produced by Tactical Tech in partnership with Mozilla, The Glass Room was a pop-up exhibition that turned issues around data and privacy into sensory and tangible experiences. In just 19 days, The Glass Room welcomed nearly 19,000 visitors, including over 1,800 on a single Saturday, with queues that stretched to nearly 60 people on the exhibition's final days. The Glass Room hosted 37 events and 35 Ingenius workshops, with a total of almost 2,000 attendees.
The Glass Room is a public intervention that aims to demystify technology through immersive, thought-provoking, self-learning exhibitions. The Glass Room began as a large scale exhibition, traveling from Berlin to New York, London and San Francisco between 2016 and 2019.
Each Glass Room took the form of a space designed to look like a sleek tech shop, but where nothing was for sale. Instead, visitors found a place where they could freely and critically discuss technology. The objects presented explored data, privacy and our relationship to the technologies and platforms which have become so commonplace in our everyday lives.
Artworks produced as part of these larger Glass Room exhibitions are still touring around the world, with a current exhibition in Austria.
