CyFer

CyFer: cybersecurity, privacy, bias and trust in female-oriented technologies (FemTech) is a research project funded by PETRAS UK. 

CyFer strives to work across domains and engage in academic research, artistic exploration, public outreach, and collaborations with the industry. It aims to have a real-world impact by influencing privacy policy and data protection, while exploring thought-provoking methods and non-traditional expressions and venues for knowledge production.  

For detailed information about the project, research team, industry partners, and a full list of outputs including academic and popular science, please see (PI of CyFer)  Maryam Mehrnezhad's account here. 

CyFer: the exhibition was open for viewing 19 June - 10 September 2023 at the Emily Wilding Davison Building Exhibitio Space at Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL). This was an art-science exhibition that engaged in a critical approach to intimate data and the everyday use of data-driven technologies. The exhibition was multiplex and included a repository of intimate technologies used in research on data privacy and security, and a series of art commissions that inquired data protection and the many uses of intimate bodily data. 

CyFer: the exhibition is now archived but accessible online via CyFer 360°.
