Topics: social networks, targeted advertising, personal information
The internet changed the world of advertising. It has become even more omnipresent, but not only that. It is increasingly more difficult for us to distinguish what is and isn’t advertising. Services that we used to pay for (for example printed newspapers) are not available free of charge. Content creators are therefore searching for various ways of making money.
We’ve become used to what’s free quite quickly. And this is precisely the start of our workshop, which is supposed to force us to think about what it means to get something for free. What about emails, websites, blogs, vlogs, photo albums, or other things; are they really free? If we don’t pay money for something, does it mean we don’t pay for it at all? Can we pay with something else? Can this currency be our personal information? Instead of using a card in a shop, would it be realistic for us to pay using our profile from social networks – i.e. with all our posts, sharing, and browsing history? How much do the internet and social networks know about us? And what do we know about them?
This educational programme is adapted to the group’s age and contains discussions, exhibition-related activities, and a closing workshop.

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
What is hidden under the term contemporary art and what paths does art show us? What is a work of art and how to recognize it? And where is the boundary between the work and its author? Educational programme from the permanent offer ROLE (IN) ART for the KAFKAesque exhibition.
DJ Curator: KAFKAesque
The programme for the KAFKAesque exhibition introduces students and pupils to the role of the curator in contemporary art. In a broader sense, it shows the curator as an essential figure in any information production.
#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
Are my capabilities inherited? Do my own mistakes discourage me from further attempts? Or can I exceed my limits? This educational programme, which uses the methodology of Professor Philip Zimbardo's Heroic Imagination Project.
