*CALL FOR ARTISTS*

GENERAL
Computers, Privacy and Data Protection – CPDP 2011 is a three-day
conference organised by academics coming from all over Europe, with
the ambition of becoming Europe’s most important forum for academics,
practitioners, policy-makers and civil society where they can meet,
exchange ideas and discuss emerging issues of information technology,
privacy, data protection and law.
CPDP is organised by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the Université de
Namur, the Universiteit van Tilburg, the Institut National de
Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique and the Fraunhofer
Institut für System und Innovationsforschung.

CALL
We are searching for visual artists that have work related to the main
subject of the conference. Anything from installations, photography
and performance to film will be regarded as potential. The purpose of
the art being exposed is to have more reflections/reactions concerning
computers, privacy and data protection.
There is a possibility that one or more artists will be selected to
present there work at the Pecha Kucha night during the conference.
CPDP will be held at Les Halles, Schaarbeek and Recyclart, Brussels.
If you are interested in participating in this event, please send us
your CV, some pictures and information of the work you are willing to
submit.
Deadline for entrees is on the 25th of November.

SUBJECT
CPDP has progressively been growing since its inception both in terms
of speakers, participants and panels and the ambition for its upcoming
fourth consecutive edition is higher than ever. Determined to exceed
the positive feedbacks received from speakers and participants, which
range from ‘excellent’ to ‘brilliant agenda keeping’, this year’s
conference offers twelve panels, a pre-conference, a philosophy
reading-panel and a PhD-evening. The previous edition of the PhD
evening proved to be one of the most intellectually stimulating
moments of the entire conference, with the active participation of key
speakers and participants of the conference.
The regular panels include both the presentation of stakeholders’
agenda and intense debates around key issues in the field of privacy,
data protection, technology and society. In addition, specific
sessions will be dedicated to the issues of e-health, surveillance and
law-enforcement, privacy in on-line service models and data breaches
notifications. Finally, the philosophical panel will focus on privacy
and due process after the computational turn.
