People keep asking me when corona is going to be over and everything will turn back to normal. My answer: Never.
(Matthias Horx, futurologist)

Part 2 of the broadcast series #Studio202X", moderated by Daisuke Tsuda, is entitled "Virus Tracking / Privacy Hacking – Between Surveillance Society and Freedom". It focuses on the debate over the use of big data amidst the corona crisis, which currently is held with great urge all over the world. In times of infection figures exploding, not only in Europe and Japan, public demand for technologies that make use of big data to provide people with real-time information about contact with infected persons is growing. In China and South Korea, such technologies have obviously contributed successfully to the containment of infection chains. What are the advantages, and what the risks of such technologies in democratic societies? How can a balance be maintained between the requirements of crisis management and the protection of the private sphere and civil rights?

About these topics Daisuke Tsuda will talk with his guests Stephanie Hankey (Co-Founder and Executive Director, NGO Tactical Tech), Michiko Kameishi (lawyer) and Takashi Okumura (Professor and Director, Health Management Center, Kitami Institute of Technology).

"Studio202X" is a talk format, initiated by the Goethe-Institut Tokyo and moderated by the journalist Daisuke Tsuda, to be broadcasted via Twitter and Facebook. It points out actual perspectives on the corona crisis, going beyond the scope of concrete crisis management in daily life. In talk sessions with Japanese and international artists and experts from the fields of philosophy, sociology, psychology, law, and other disciplines, Tsuda and his guests approach different dimensions of significance of the current situation and ask about scenarios of social change that could be triggered by the present crisis.

During the broadcast, viewers have the opportunity to ask questions to the guests live.
