The Preserve of Privacy
Watch the talk
"Mary Beard, a really famous historian - she's phenomenal - just wrote a book about how we see. [She] talks about art, not being about the person who made it, but what others made of it. And that's what I really like about art. It forces us to decode what we are seeing. It forces us to go through some mental gymnastics."
"Art has awful manners."
"Art is much more nimble and responsive to the issues that we see in society. In fact, it is an early warning system for some of the challenges we will see."
It's really hard to get people to understand why privacy law matters to them and get energized about it.
Increasingly, our privacy are being held behind glass walls.
Art engages thought.
Privacy is a preserve. It is a space in which we need to protect certain human values and truths that we know are very important.
You need privacy. You need space to create. You need space to innovate and think great thoughts.
Sometimes art is created to force us to sit with awkwardness.
When we talk about privacy in today's society, it's your eye that is looking. It's your eye that is doing the invasion of privacy.
We have a sense of helplessness around how we think about privacy in today's world.
You need privacy. You need space to create. You need space to innovate and think great thoughts.
