The NC State University Libraries, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will host a virtual mini-symposium about surveillance architecture, the attention economy, and data privacy in online spaces. The symposium will be the conclusion of a creative residency with Sneakaway Studio's Joelle Dietrick and Owen Mundy, where they adapted their browser-based game Tally Saves the Internet into an experiential work for display in D.H. Hill Jr. Library's newly launched Visualization Studio. 

The symposium will feature a panel discussion with artists Joelle Dietrick and Owen Mundy together with Nick Merrill, Director of Daylight Security Research LAB at UC Berkeley; and Lauren Klein, Associate Professor in the Departments of English and Quantitative Theory and Methods at Emory University, director of the Digital Humanities Lab, and co-author of Data Feminism. Following the panel will be an unveiling of Tally with live gameplay and commentary from the artists and the libraries support team.
