FREEDOM 2.0
02.06.2018 - 24.06.2018 at Stuttgart

The confrontation with the networked world, the digitalization of our lives and the tension between our privacy
is a central theme of social development. FREEDOM 2.0 is a participative art installation that intervenes in the public space
and leads to the city museum of Stuttagrt (Stadtpalais). In the Stadtpalais itself, FREEDOM 2.0 manifests itself in the form of an interactive
exhibition and its colloquia. FREEDOM 2.0 is an initiated artistic form of an open discourse platform that questions and examines the influences and changes
through digitalization on society.
FREDDOM 2.0 offers an exciting educational and lecture programme in the form of the BIG DATA Colloquia, in which the entire spectrum of digitisation can be discussed over 4 weekends
with excellent speakers.
The aim of the art installation is to create a differentiated view of the challenge of dealing with
our digital parallel reality.

    The public Space

    The temporary renaming of businesses in the Gerberviertel by the term FREEDOM publicly raises the question of the value and significance of privacy and individual freedom. The result is a public platform for discussion and debate about the significance and necessary redefinition of privacy in its relation to BIG DATA.

    The Guidance System

    A temporary guidance system installed on the streets leads from 26 participating shops in the Gerberviertel to the StadtPalais. The guidance system visualizes the invisible data flow of the digital world. The guidance system reflects the motion profiles of the Tracking APP.

    BACKGROUND

    Intention
    The participative art installation FREIHEIT 2.0 pushes a process of self-reflection and self-efficacy in dealing with the topic of the BIG DATA an.
    FREEDOM 2.0 deals with the interactions between of the digital and the analog world.
    The art project FREIHEIT 2.0 is an artistically initiated form of an open discourse platform that investigates development processes within society in relation to digitization.
    Freiheit 2.0 integrates public space into the art installation as a participative element. The goal of the installation Freiheit 2.0 is to create an awareness of the and a differentiated view of the challenge of dealing with BIG DATA and our digital parallel reality.
    What does FREEDOM 2.0 deal with - BIG DATA
    BIG DATA questions the principles of self-determination over mental and social life, as well as our understanding of the political system. Our privacy and our self-image of freedom are facing a major change.
    The confrontation with the networked world, the digitalization of our lives and the tension between our anatomy and privacy is a central theme of social development.
    The big data industry is striving for a real-time model of our daily lives. This is why the BIG DATA system registers our life in all its ramifications. How many steps did we take today and what pulse did we have? What did we buy online? Google knows when you had the flu and knows our next holiday destination. WhatsApp knows who we're communicating with. Youtube knows which videos we watch and Instagram knows our posted life. Mattel knows what's spoken in the nursery and the smart TV looks into our bedroom. Facebook knows all our friends and Amazon already knows today what we will buy tomorrow.
    Solutions in dealing with BIG DATA?
    One idea of Big Data is to extract personality patterns and predict real-time results about human behavior in order to use them commercially. FREIHEIT 2.0 takes a first step to examine and question the changes and processes that Big Data has brought about in the form of a social participatory art installation. It is important to use it as a platform to discuss, learn and recognize that we need to develop an ethos in relation to Big Data that protects human dignity in the future.
