On October 13 of 2022 was the welcoming session for the participants of “We are Recording you Geneva,” a space hosted by the Edgelands Institute to explore how the digitalization of urban security is changing the urban social contract in the city.

‍

During the next eight weeks, this selected group of participants will work as part of two interdisciplinary teams exploring issues, and possible solutions, related to technology and surveillance in Geneva.

‍

As part of this program we will also host a series of conversations with experts, to explore from different perspectives key elements raised by the interaction between security, coexistence, and digital surveillance.
