> From November 15 through December 15, 2002, World-Information.Org stages
> its extensive exhibition and conference program in the Oude Kerk in
> Amsterdam. The objective of the exhibition is to show the influence of
> the expansion of worldwide communication and information networks on
> every day life. World-Information.Org charts these networks for the
> public and criticizes them: Who built these networks? How do they
> function? Who controls them?
>
>The exhibition consists of 'World-Infostructure', 'World-C4U' and a series
>of art projects 'Future Heritage'. During the exhibition a temporary
>medialab will be installed in the Oude Kerk called 'Hybrid Workspace'
>
>World-Infostructure provides insights in the evolution of communication
>technologies and their consequences in relation to society. This part of
>the exhibition leads us through the progression of historic communication
>codes to state-of-the-art applications. It provides an overview of the
>relation between technology, private investments and common welfare.
>
>In World-C4U, the public experiences how organizations, companies and
>governments use state-of-the-art technologies for control and security
>through hands-on practical biometric applications and live demonstrations
>of surveillance systems. The exhibition also contains historical objects
>such as the code machine 'Enigma'. ...
