Dear all,

DATA-PSST has produced a final report summarising its findings. (Its aim was to bring together academia, industry, civil society, regulators and security specialists, to better understand the constitution and implications of a society where data transparency has become the norm. We scrutinised the implications for Privacy, Security, Sur/sous/veillance and Trust).
 
We produced 3 short documentaries on what we felt were important issues coming out of our discussions. Please take a look and let us know what you think.
 
We generated many academic publications on the topic of Veillance (i.e. mutual watching) and transparency (including notions of accountability). These are freely available here.
 
For those of you specifically interested in the difficult task of educating the public on abstract matters of data sur/sous/veillance, we generated some interesting artistic provocations:
-  Evan Light: The Snowden Archive-in-a-Box: A year of travelling experiments in outreach and education
-  Jennifer Gradecki & Derek Curry: Crowd-Sourced Intelligence Agency: Prototyping counterveillance
-  Benjamin Grosser: Tracing You: How transparent surveillance reveals a desire for visibility
- And our documentary on Veillance produced by Dyfrig Jones.
 
If you’d like to carry on our discussions on issues of Privacy, Security, Sur/sous/veillance, and Trust, please join our discussion list, PSST.
 
And finally, if any of you found our discussions our outputs useful in any way, we’d love to hear from you. (It would keep our funder, the ESRC, happy!)  Do drop me a line.
 
All the very best,
Vian
