Fostering Technoethics through Art
Our technology enables computers to make sense of the real-time dynamics of physical spaces and their occupants. The era of the Internet of Things ushers in a wave of philosophical and ethical questions as perplexing, and certainly more profound, than the Internet did nearly three decades ago. Through artistic collaborations, we strive to present these questions to the broadest audience in the form of accessible experiences, stimulating both discussion and conscious reflection.
