Privacy, Vote and Electronic Participation - June 9, 2007
Trasparent Telematics Demo and Debate
We have photos and full video of the Innovation Festival, held between the 7th and 10th of June, 2007 in Rome.
The Festival was held in the area surrounding Piazza Augusto Imperatore, and particularly, within the new Ara Pacis Museum complex - work of the internationally renowned architect Richard Meier - a prestigious venue with a high communicative, historical and architectural impact.
The Lazio Region counted with the sponsorship of the Department of Consumer Rights and Simplification of Administrative Procedures as well as the Municipality of Rome to realize this event with thousands of people and raise two main issues: what do we really mean when we talk about innovation? And, are we really sure that innovation is limited to purely technological fields?
The Telematics Freedom Foundation presented a session with experts in the segment to discuss Privacy, Vote and Electronic Participation. Watch the full debate here:
In conjunction with The Winston Smith Project and MG Engineering, we showcased a transparent cube to demonstrate the User Verifiable Telematics Model.
The cube contained multiple keypad locks (fictitious for the sake of demonstration) to secure the server running the Free Telematic Services and needed to support the Access Policies the foundation is promoting.
