In partnership with
The Forum d’Avignon, a think-tank dedicated to culture and its dialogue with the economic world, is organizing the first Forum d’Avignon 100% data at the economic, social and environmental Council (CESE) in Paris on the 19th of September 2014, from 9am to 6pm in order to:
- debate cultural stakes about personal data
- discover projects and artistic and creative experiments inside the Cultural Data Village
- and take part in the writing of a preliminary declaration for the rights of the digital human being : data, ethics and equity
The date is set for all the players – companies, start-ups, artists, creators, institutions, students, academics – to build a debate and write the first articles of the declaration. The debate about human genome had last for more than four years but came out with concrete results. Now it is our role to play collectively for digital identity.
The balance between the exploitation and the protection of individual liberties is a key issue of the development of the data economy. The traces everyone leaves on the Internet, constitutes the digital DNA or identity, which is now inseparable from any human being. It is an illusion to ignore the power of the “Big data Bang”, or worse, to shield ourselves from it, or to limit it to a one-dimensional issue: technique vs. security, economy vs. individual liberty.
Personal data is not just another common commodity:
The Forum d’Avignon desires that “personal data” is considered a cultural and ethical stake:
→ For the citizens, explain to them the impact of their digital print;
→ For the businessmen, develop perennial business models respecting individuals and the legal framework;
→ For the policy-makers, propose a legal and ethical perspective
It is imperative for the cultural personal data to be defined in international texts, especially to preserve diversity. The Forum d’Avignon’s objective is to bring an added value to understand and act, by:
