How Google Street View blurs our right to privacy: An Investigation in four parts
Adrian Fernandez
24–24 Apr 2021
From its inception to the present day, Google has repeatedly violated our right to privacy, most notably through its Google Street View project.
The talk will focus on this project, looking at its inception, the challenges posed by its pervasive global reach, how countries and organisations have tried to rein in Google, and the various legal instruments that have been enacted in order to regulate and develop standards on the transmission of images online.
WRITING & CONCEPTS is a presentation and performance series exploring the insights that visual arts practitioners have in to their own creative and cultural practices, and provides an opportunity for them to discuss and publish these insights in a public forum – in a mode consistent with their practice. Contributors include practitioners for whom the written form is their primary professional output and practitioners whose work manifests as exhibitions or events within the domain of contemporary art.
Blindside x Writing and Concepts presents Adrian Fernandez: How Google Street View blurs our right to privacy: An Investigation in four parts.

We pay respects to Wurundjeri Elders, past, present and emerging, to the Elders from other communities and to any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders who might encounter or participate in the program.
