Privacy and ownership in the digital era

The amount of data we generate continues to rise exponentially. The systems we've devised to collect, store and share that data are getting ever more complex. In this session we investigate how we can use big data.

We'll explore exhibitions that use data sets like objects; the challenges of converting physical exhibitions into purely digital touring blueprints; and how facial recognition installations could transform audience research. All these new and exciting activities need to be considered from a legal point of view. Visitors need to have their privacy protected, museums need to maintain control over their intellectual property and external lenders need to feel confident we can protect their valuable data sets.

Join us to discuss the legal issues we've encountered and how we've overcome them to make ground breaking exhibitions, critically assess exhibits with greater accuracy and share our content with a wider audience than ever before.
