JasperThe first few days of the Festival are dedicated to various symposiums. Yesterday we attended the symposium on fundamental rights in the digital world. Today is the first day of the Goodbye Privacy Symposium. When taking the tram to the city center we find out that we can actually use the trams for free with our festival passes, which is nice, saving us the hassle of having to buy a ticket every time, since it doesn't seem possible to buy a week ticket or something, anyhow we get off in the centre and head out for the Kunstuniversität Linz. On the way we grab some fresh coffee (don't underestimate the effect of starting your day with proper coffee). Roel goes up to the pressroom to work on the blog a bit more, while Sarah and me enter the Kunstuniversität.
The speakers in the first leg of the symposium are focusing on the value of privacy, and whether it is possible to maintain a private sphere against the backdrop of terror and Web 2.0?
