It's your last chance to visit the “This is Not a Camera!”, the interactive installation by HOLDEN that has been on display at Tankstation for the whole month of April. For those who have already visited (and newcomers), we are hosting a closing workshop with faculty members from the University of Twente Philosophy Section. In this workshop we will go further in depth about the possible ethical considerations of this technology and how WIFI sensing might (re)shape the human condition. Participants will reflect on how their lives will change as WIFI monitoring services become more commonplace in our daily lives. These observations will help design regulations and specifications that ensure ethical development of WIFI monitoring products and services. Sounds interesting? Join the workshop, from 19:00 until 20:00!

Afterwards, it's JAM SESSION time! Join the stage and let the music flow! Everyone is invited to hop on stage and join the house band for a night of good, genuine improvised music. Only one rule: NO COVERS ALLOWED.
