The ViSmedia team gathered on Solstrand for the annual fall seminar

At this year´s fall seminar, ViSmedia researchers and master students dived into the world of scenarios. The participants were challenged to develop «worst case» scenarios of the effects of visual surveillance technology on the news media 2030. Each team came up with an anticipatory narrative based on their ongoing research.

Some talking points from the scenarios :
Social tracking and targeting, deprofessionalization, redistribution of power, identity autonomy and civilian surveillance implications.

Enjoy!
