Pervasive or Invasive?

"A one day workshop, ‘Pervasive or Invasive?’ hosted by UWE's new Digital Cultures Research Centre at the Pervasive Media Studio, Bristol on Friday, March 5th 2010.


The day brings cutting edge research to the Pervasive Media design community.
Pervasive Media may afford an intensification of surveillance, data mining, and loss of privacy, and this is certainly the perception amongst many potential designers and users.


'Pervasive or Invasive?' is designed as a day of presentations and discussions with people from different disciplines, to generate shared understandings of the issues, and then start to define what Ethical Design in Pervasive Media might be.
The day will have workshop discussion opportunities, working with developers and designers to generate the beginnings of a set of ethical design principles for Pervasive Media applications."
