 Super, welcome. Welcome to this lecture from, I have to now have to look up here, because it's Nika, I know. Nika, I hope I pronounce your name right. It's Dubrovsky. Nika Dubrovsky is born in the USSR. I think it was USSR at the time. Yes, still. So not the Soviet Union, but the USSR. And she moved over to New York, I understood. And then last six years living in Berlin, she's an artist. And luckily, artists make our life better and try to give certain color and feeling to this world. She's next to being an artist. She's engaged in projects like this one, Anthropology for Kids. And there is a project here that's going to be related in an open source book called What is Privacy? What is Privacy? I'm going to give you the stage, I think. All right. So I'm working on this project for a couple years already. Yeah, I'm very happy to be here. And I'm not an experienced speaker. So I'm nervous. And yeah, I'm going to describe this project and hopefully get some advice or maybe find a collaborators. So I started to work on this because I bought a book about pirates to my six years old son who was learning to read. And I was hoping that it will be a dramatic book about first anarchistic communities with blood and all kinds of amazing events. But it was quite opposite. It was this very close product, sugary and kitschy and completely nothing true. So I was thinking, okay, actually, it's really great to do books for kids, but books that will talk about what Dostoevsky calls Cors questions, something that every human being have to decide for themselves, what is family, what is death, what is labor or what is money, for example, and what is privacy as well. So and then I started to do these books that kind of I understand them like a social hacking to the social courts. Because we when we get our education, and when I saw my son getting his education, we presented with again this close products that then we have to rehearsal and repeat. And it's very rarely that the kids and adults as well are allowed to really take a part. They made important social ideas and then reconstruct them for themselves. And I want to say that one of the important influence for me was Soviet children literature in 1920s. And it was very important also for the the beginning of construction of the revolutionary identity of Soviet people, because this identity of Soviet people didn't exist. So before 1937, the Stalin's crackdown, the Soviet children literature was really, really progressive and has a lot of qualities that I think very important now. So the anthropology for kids is supposed to be a web project. We freely downloaded books. That's also we put on Viki Adio, Viki Kids. And this is a doodle books that kids can draw and write in. So the anthropological idea that for each core question, like what is family, you can have many answers depending on from which cultural background or historical time you come in. And in each of this question, the books is providing a framework where you can comment and draw and imagine and construct your own identity. So this is a book about history of protests. In Russia, it's will cost cold history of justice because it's not possible to publish and to do workshops with the protest books right now. And so this is a story cases that describe in different type of protest. And one part of the page is always organized like a schoolbook where the child can, but in this case not repeat, but comment. Then like the book of the another book, one of the books that I do is about privacy. That's why I have in this conversations here. So this different way of relating to the privacy. And now from my presentation, because the book is not finished yet, I'm going to share the ideas that I have about privacy now that I'm collecting. So the privacy could be understood in many different ways, like level of access, exclusion, control over the body, home, public space and so on. But it also could be described as privacy of the body and privacy inside of the public space. And the relationship between public and private is one of the most important and fascinating subjects for me. So now we know that in the Bible on the privacy was a privilege. So only wealthy women were able to cover their face and their hands and the prostitute or the poor woman actually have to obligate, obliged to go out with their uncovered. It was a big punishment for not following the rules. So in Saudi Arabia is quite opposite. Their appearances belong to the male, the appearance of the woman. So they must cover their face. And now in Europe, one country after another, the burqa is banned in order to protect women and protect our understanding of what is what is what privacy is. So privacy of others could become a problem for us. And this is a French beach. Last year, a woman who was wearing Burkini on the beach in France, she was stopped by the armed police and was forced to undress because the French government passed a law against wearing Burkini. So in this, yeah, like the privacy of others could be a threat, it could be understood as a threat as well. So this is a different way of relating to privacy as Apatistas. So the Bala Klavas is a kind of a sign that used to invite everybody to their struggle and to relate to them. It's also very important tools that they use in order to be successful in their struggles with the government, because nobody actually can identify subcommandante Marcos or Guillena, because nobody can really prove who is he, one person or somebody else. And this type of relationship to the privacy is also allowing them to create a new collectivity that many people in the world can relate to in this support that they got as also making them really protected. So this is our Russian Pussy rights, that's a psychiatric anonymity. These girls were, at least Nadella Koninkva and Masha Aleokhinova were very well known, their faces and names was public, and then they started to use these Bala Klavas that mostly covered it, not them, but somebody else. So this is another way of related to privacy. If you show in the public space some parts that consider to be private and forbidden, even when you really hack into the media, and by doing that you can't hack into the public space and deliver some agenda that would be difficult to do otherwise. And now like the big fashion industry is also kind of following this agenda and it's a lot of projects that helping us or could help us if we want to control our visibility and to really change the way how we relate to our appearance on the fly so we can change our agenda or age or whatever we really want to change. So I grew up in Soviet Union and of course it was most important private-public relationship in this country. For example, the way how Soviet people look was very known so we kind of all very much the same and if you see the foreigners in Leningrad when I grew up then they will be the colorful people who immediately stick out in the crowd. Well, so many people also lived in this famous communal apartments that they didn't choose their neighbors. It wasn't Berlin Vaghe, it's more or less some special way of being collective. And of course we have a mass surveillance that now looks like very innocent because the government relied on their friends and neighbors telling on each other and until certain moment like when I grew up in 80s that's practice wasn't popular anymore. So some people are saying that Soviet Union was defeated by the citizens telling a joke about Soviet to each other about Soviet regime. And of course Leningrad was our collective grandfather that always watched upon us. The important part of Soviet elite was an artist and a dissident who have you know very successfully fought for the artistic autonomy and against the forced collectivity. Here is a very famous performance of Evikovic. In 1979 she is sitting in the back of the building and she is doing something very forbidden by being public space. This was the generation, Stesian Sinatius was a generation of my parents and by the time I grow they looked to me very heroic and important and then when the post socialism era come then I kind of a little bit reconsider my position. So this is a performance of the artist in Moscow just close very close to Mavzalei where the Leningrad is still is. So this is a cake and the people who were invited to eat it was it was an art gallery some private crowd including some kids so they successfully ate collective grandfather and that's how like I think for me it's like a very very brutal and successful image of how the privatization actually happens in in the Soviet countries. So in this how Leningrad looked in 90s a lot of the small places where the people sell each other everything it total total privatization and like another good example of relationship between private and public was these two guys so one of them on the left his name is Mikhail Virbitsky. He is an author of a book called Santicopyrite where he explained first time in Russian language about Rachel Stolman and no license and all of these important things. He is also successful mathematician he was making he is making money going working in a western university is giving lectures. So the guy on the right named Pugache that's from Russian it can translate like being scary and he's he organized company called Bealt LLC in which the sole purpose of this company was carrying the rights for a registered trademark on his beard and he was suing other people of wearing a beard that he thinks looks like his. So this Virbitsky was one day stopped in the airport and was because he has an open court case against him and supposed to pay around ten thousand dollars because he he was announced that he violated a copyright of Mr Pugache on the beard and he like wrote on his block like it looks like a joke but it's actually not and then he actually did pay to I don't know if he succeeded later somehow got out of that but it was like a like a big deal. So and I think what happens now with this like total privatization of our privacy everywhere is that it's again become a human rights issue very much as it was during the Soviet time but on a completely different scale. So Soviet times are really innocent and home like very cute especially the times when I grew up in 80s and what I'm thinking by doing these books is like how what could be done in order to prevent it from developing and one of the things that I think is very important is to develop the tools for kind of social hacking organizing the social crypto parties with kids and with everybody else where the different ideas of how we can relate for example to privacy could be distributed on a very large scale and become understandable to other people. So I took an interview and published it in Russian media from the David Staten one of my friends in Berlin and so he was telling in this interview that if we will have certain percentage of people not even big who will use encryption in their private communication it will be too expensive for government to spy on us and the question is why it didn't happen why we don't use encryption and this amount of people why don't why don't we all just join the crowd and one thing is encryption is complicated to use but actually probably it's not a wrong answer it's the real answer is that's how we understand our collectivity that we don't need to use encryption so that our privacy is not really so important to protect and so coming back to the Soviet children literature I think these guys were very effective in a way how they distribute the revolutionary ideas among these vast hundreds of millions of people that were living in Russian Empire in 1917 after the revolution had happened and immediately after the Soviet revolution introduced human equality like the social equality they accommodate this huge amount of people who came from from villages during the civil war and give them job and feed them and the basic rights and the Soviet Union was preserved so like in the privacy book I'm going to speak as one of the experts I'm going to speak with Mikhail Kosinski he's this guy from Cambridge Psychometrics it's a company it's not company it's a part of the university that later become a model for Cambridge Analytics the company that created a software that apparently was used for the Brexit election political campaign and for the election of Trump and so Mikhail Kosinski was after he created his program of getting information from social network and a big scale about people he was going around and worried that it could be used for like very harmful things so he's saying that I didn't build the bomb I just show that it could be could be built could be harmful and yeah so I was thinking that maybe here in the congress I can find also somebody who will participate in some ways of making this privacy book more like better in maybe giving it's different form not being a book but being some kind of small piece of software they can distribute through the social network and then the people not only can can answer this question that what Kosinski did originally but they can see the answers for example if they see that like I wouldn't care about my privacy I wouldn't spend time encrypting my email and then he will see okay if like 20% of the people will answer I will then no civilians and if like 13% of people will also answer that we don't care then yes civilians everywhere so maybe something like that could could could work yeah maybe that's that's it Nika Dabrowski time thank you that was great actually I have a personally I have a first question and I would love to see some other questions here as well first practical thing I understood that the next lecture will not go through so we have some more time to discuss and maybe find that collaborators that you were looking for one practical question you did some sessions with kids to make this book or not for privacy yet not for privacy yet it was other books like crime and punishment and protest books some other books family okay okay on a small scale and in Berlin or or before in New York where you were staying so the way of the workshops were done in the workshop is a big important part so you kind of it's an important to to to look at the kids i2i not just to impose on them some knowledge but then to to make them allow them to draw and write and then maybe introduce something in the book so I did the projects in in Russia and the process book is for South Africa and yes I did two workshops in Berlin okay so that was my next question what is your actually your audience because before this lecture you told me like we are all kids still in a way yeah it's mean like kids are mature yeah so if you some if I will look I will be described how to encrypt my email I will be much less capable than my 14 years some okay so we have this little kid here in the back that I heard that would be joining your party next to all the other kids here is there someone who has a question for Nika guys girls androids bots someone there on the web no one okay then I have to come up with another question hmm how do we use that book when is it there when it will be published it's open source I understood yeah we just put it on wiki kids wiki do and then where can we find this yes the it's a website where you can download it but we also put it on wiki kids the website is a4kids.org a4kids.org yeah .org okay so my question was then when can we see this when this book will be done hope like three months in three months something like that other people here would like to collaborate probably will they will connect you after this lecture no one here has a question I feel guilty oh my god hey thank you very much Nika once again I hope to talk later with you
