Looking forward to taking part in this, thinking about the environmental impact of data exhaust as part of the @ispysensors project

I learned so much from books like Stephen Biesty’s Incredible Cross Sections, where peeping inside a thing told the story of how it worked. Can this work for digital devices though - when opening the black box just reveals more black boxes?

New @ispysensors research with kids. Part 1 what do they know about sensors in digital devices. Links with tradition of taking things apart & “what’s inside” genre. Really like @ustwogames mechanic in Assemble with Care. It’s all analogue tech though... @MainAngus @hdinetwork
Testing ways of subverting face recognition apps with @dylanyamadarice . Apple Jack Sparrow my fav so far. @ispysensors
I’ve been playing with the @adafruit Voice Bonnet, creating offline AI voice tools. What’s great is it has a physical kill-switch for the microphones, so users can be sure it’s stopped listening. More sensor devices need this kind of #SurveillanceResistance feature. @ispysensors
I’m preparing an interesting talk on social issues rooted on childhood and how they influence the way children (and adults!) relate to data ethics. You can join us this Friday, more info on @ispysensors

New project website via @MainAngus if we could no longer scrape reliable data from children's devices might we have to speak to them again? @Livingstone_S @jackiemarsh @JohnPP ispysensors.com/about
Our first @hdinetwork funded event is coming up this Friday. We'll be discussing issues relating to kids, technology, and data ethics, with network members: @techwillsaveus @projectsbyif @KidsKnowBest @bbcuxd @dylanyamadarice @JohnPP @GluckWorkshops 👉ispysensors.com/countermeasure…
The Countermeasures book - I Spy Sensors - is a friendly guide to the digital sensors which surround us. It shows you where you'll find sensors such as accelerometers, barometers, magnetometers and proximity sensors, and what these components can observe about your behaviours.
You can find out more about the Countermeasures research project at our website here: ispysensors.com
Countermeasures is a research project based at the RCA. Our aim is to increase awareness of, and agency over, digital surveillance by finding creative ways of deceiving the sensors in digital objects.
