The value of personal data in today's society was the subject of this Dezeen x Dutch Design Week 2020 talk, featuring designers Julia Janssen, Isaac Monté and Lei Nelissen.
The Dutch Design Week (DDW) creatives were joined by Vincent van Herk of the Dutch Design Foundation, who curated the DDW sub-theme "Privacy in the Age of New Intimacy" and gave an overview of the theme.
Dezeen editor Tom Ravenscroft moderated the talk.

The talks' focus was on how people's data has become an increasingly valuable commodity in today's world and how our privacy can be guarded.
The designers that took part in the discussion have all created works that touch on different aspects of privacy, data and information. Designer Julia Janssen
Janssen's project "Why I like green" explores how Facebook's algorithm has decided that she is interested in sportswear and technology, prefectures of Japan, the American Mathematical Society, and the colour green.
As a result, she is creating a game that looks at how true the algorithm's conclusions are. An online profile "doesn't merely describe your interest, preferences, conditions, obligations, desires, and weaknesses," said the designer.
