Re-engineering of Internet for Security, Privacy and Trust with Blockchain |
Blockchain is a foundational as well as disruptive technology that can be instrumental for meeting challenges posed by rapidly changing economic and social systems. To take full advantage of this impressive technology, we must first understand what it is, how it works, what it really offers, and how we can use it to transform our current digital infrastructure, which has apparent fundamental shortcomings. In this talk, we will try to answer these and other germain questions by offering a non-specialist exposition of its theoretical substructure. Then, we can briefly introduce a specific application of the blockchain technology that can contribute to the solution of security, privacy, trust and identity management in the cyberworld.

The Art Scene Increasingly Turning into a Technology and Asset-Driven World |
There has always been a bilateral interplay between Art and Technology at various levels of participation throughout history. At every step, technology has created new mediums, tools, and themes to expand artists' creative expression. However, it is frequently observed that in today's works of art that employ new technology, excessive praise for technical components given during the creation or presentation of the artwork may risk overshadowing the artwork's discursive essence. In addition, absolute reliance on technological means brings with it the potential danger to the preservation of such works of art in the face of technological loss. This session will focus on the issues that arise when we rely heavily on technology to create art.
