An educational programme for the #Datamaze project
The topic: privacy and safety on the Internet, metadata
How does my digital content get created? What all can be done with it? Who can access it? The objective of the DATA SHADOW programme is to talk with participants and reflect on what data they are creating, for example through social networks, messenger applications, or video streaming services, and whether they realize who can find it and what they can use it for. We live in an era of remixing, post-production, an open universe of networking – data is omnipresent and easily used.
In one of its projects the Tactical Tech organization works with the concept of a “digital shadow” – data that we create as we move through and participate in the internet without realizing it. These are various types of data (called metadata) that often is created with our agreement but without our awareness. One could say that we create it unintentionally. From thinking about this data that one does not directly generate oneself, one is only a few small steps away from thinking about the data that is the result of our activity in the digital world (called content).
The accompanying programme is adapted to the age of the group and contains discussions, activities within the exhibition, and a final workshop.
Surprise friends or family with an unconventional afternoon, or get to know your colleagues in other roles - you can order this programme as a family workshop or team building. More information

Storybox: Everything Like at the Dawn of the World
How much does narrative need illustration and image need a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery like this, and the exhibition within it, is like a big box full of stories and all you have to do is choose. The programme draws inspirational material from Kamila Ženata's exhibition of abstract paintings Everything Like at the Dawn of the World.
Sticking Your Neck Out: KAFKAesque
Programme for the KAFKAesque exhibition and the role of the artist. What is the role of courage and the ability to follow one's own path in any kind of creation? What about us? What fascinates us? What are our problems, what troubles us and what do we want and can we do about it?
From a Different Page: KAFKAesque
Since the invention of writing, text and image have been among the most important means of conveying information and extending memory. Before the internet, the most common medium for this memory was the book. Experience an educational program using Narrative 4 methodologies and KAFKAesque exhibition imagery.
Art In Your Pocket: KAFKAesque

#Datamaze: The Magic of Design
Design is all around us - in both the natural and human world. It's an excellent helper, but can also easily become a means of seduction and deception. In the digital world, design defines how we interact with the virtual universe behind the monitor.
#Datamaze: Fake it!
The Internet and especially social networks make active use of the phenomenon of popularity. The more likes, followers, tweets, posts, blogs, photos… the greater trust people place a virtual identity.
Storybox
How much does storytelling need illustration, and how much do images need a story? An educational programme inspired by the Narrative4 method for the Fenomeander exhibition.
Hooray, a Mistake
