JadaTalks Presents: Meme Warfare
During Paris Art Week, JadaTalks presents a conversation on Meme Warfare. One of the most discussed topics of the last 5 years has been the commodification of online behavioral data by tech companies and the many ways that this data is sold, analyzed, and utilized. When this data is sold to advertisers or political campaigns it is then transformed into aesthetically targeted online content designed to elicit a certain kind of response from the viewer. This phenomenon brings forth many questions: Is this a new frontier in advertising or an invasion of privacy? Who owns the rights to my online behavioral data? What are we agreeing to when we accept the terms and conditions? What kind of imagery is going to provoke a response out of you? Tune in on October 24, 2020 at 10 AM EST to hear from our guest speaker Avital Shtapura during this online and live streaming art conversation.
