I-Spy with Salon London.
Who’s Hacking Who?
Millennials, you’ll have to trust us, once upon a time it was as easy as having a quiet word with ‘lads’ in IT to stop anyone else looking at your email. But now that governments, law enforcers and tower blocks of professional criminals are all at it, it aint so easy. Of course we want to be protected in our cyberspace, but does digital state surveillance compromise our human rights and our freedom of speech? Maybe, says the Professor of Law at LSE Andrew Murray who has made this area his principal subject for research. He’ll be explaining how and why.
Eye-to-Eye Contact!
Make an entrance, command respect and loyalty, put down riots! RADA have made it their business to understand how best to use eye contact to affect others on the stage. Now they are coming to Salon London to help us learn the same skills to build rapport and to increase power and engagement in our own equally taxing social and work situations. This brand new session from RADA in Business’ Sheelagh McNamara will explain the tricks and the devices used in the actors’ studio for you to put to use in the boardroom or the bedroom. The choice is yours.
What’s at the Edge of the Internet?
The Internet was never designed with security in mind, which means it’s hard to guarantee our safety as we travel in cyberspace. Fresh from embedding with biohackers, acclaimed technology author and social media analyst for the Think Tank Demos, Jamie Bartlett has been taking a long hard look at the radical fringe groups, their politics and their technology. He will be at Salon London to close our incredible series of AI, DIY, I-SPY to ask just how close are the technologies of the future - and what might they mean for politics and society?
5th May at The Hospital Members' Club, Covent Garden, 7pm start.
