Ziel des Vortrages ist es, einen Überblick über die neuen aus der Datenschutzgrundverordnung entstehenden Rechte von Betroffenen (also Du mein*e junge*r Jedi) zu geben und dabei aufzuzeigen, an welchen Stellen Musik für uns drin sein kann. about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/8092.html

How does a pluralist society – a society built to accommodate our irreconcilable differences – make a choice about the technological future of mankind? How can a liberal state dedicated to upholding individual liberty interfere in technological progress, and why should it? about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/8064.html

Cities are emerging as a space for local action and local change but also as dangerous spaces where social engineering, exclusion by design and privatised policing take place rapidly, without adequate frames to catch up and assure fundamental rights. Is the city the answer to a new digital ecosystem, with effective mechanisms to enforce it, in the local government powers? about this event: https:/...

The genome – the final frontier – or just a complex mess of letters? Somewhere in there, our eye or skin color is hidden. But also, diseases can be diagnosed or predicted by analyzing the genome. More and more research is committed to finding clues for diseases in our genes. The opportunity is clear: If I know about a disease I might get ahead of time, I could possibly intervene before it starts....

From geo-magnetic tracking for smartphones to facial recognition for email marketing, from physical shopping cart fingerprinting to computer vision algorithms that use your clothing as metadata, this talk will explore the emerging landscape of hyper-competitive retail surveillance. Instead of dramatizing these technologies which can lead to calcification and normalization, the aim of this talk is...

Lightning Talks are short lectures (almost) any congress participant may give! Bring your infectious enthusiasm to an audience with a short attention span! Discuss a program, system or technique! Pitch your projects and ideas or try to rally a crew of people to your party or assembly! Whatever you bring, make it quick! about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/...

The High Priests of the Digital Age Are Working Behind Your Back to Make You Confess, and Repent. about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/8324.html

With recent development in capture technology, preserving one's’ daily experiences and one's’ knowledge becomes richer and more comprehensive. Furthermore, new recording technologies beyond simple audio/video recordings become available: 360° videos, tactile recorders and even odor recorders are becoming available. . The new recording technology and the massive amounts of data require new means fo...

Internet censorship today is widespread, both by governments and by private entities. Much of the discussion so far has focused on political and social effects of this censorship. However, censorship also has a clear effect on the economic structure of society that has not been explored. about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/8170.html

Mitch Altman (born December 22, 1956) is a San Francisco-based hacker and inventor, best known for inventing TV-B-Gone, as featured speaker at hacker conferences, as international expert on the hackerspace movement, and for teaching introductory electronics workshops. He is also Chief Scientist and CEO of Cornfield Electronics. about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrpla...

Wer hat diese Jungs wieder reingelassen?! Nicolas Wöhrl und Reinhard Remfort sind eine Gefahr für Leib und Leben. Unter dem Deckmantel der Wissenschaftskommunikation machen sie auf der Bühne alles das, was sie an der Uni nie gewagt hätten. about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/8020.html

Chaosradio ist der unterhaltsame Live-Talk-Radio-Klassiker des Chaos Computer Clubs aus Berlin und eines der ältesten Tech-Radios überhaupt. Chaosradio informiert seit 1995 über wechselnde Themen rund um Technologie und Gesellschaft. about this event: https://c3voc.de

This talk presents the idea that ethics as logic that can be programmed into machines doesn’t seem to work; perhaps, ethics is something else. This talk is about what that something else may be – power. (This talk is not about the Trolley Problem! But it will mention why it shouldn’t apply to the driverless car.) about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/8214.h...

Zcash is the third iteration of an extension to the Bitcoin protocol that provides true untraceability, i.e. fully anonymous transactions. It is arguably the first serious attempt to establish this extension, in the form of its own blockchain, beyond the form of an academic proposal. The talk provides an introduction to the magic that makes it work. about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de...

Join with your derpy bot to fight your nemesis! Push it off the table or knock the enemy over. No weapons. No advanced controllers. No tears. Don't take it serious. about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/8270.html

Astronomers struggle to accurately measure distances in the vastness of the known universe. Get an insight into the sophisticated techniques and dirty tricks of today's astrophysics and cosmology. No physics background required, featuring lots of pretty space pictures. about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/7861.html

Imagine, there is this huge data center but your user privileges allow you to access only 5% of the data. That is the exact same situation physicists face when trying to study the cosmos. 95% of our universe is made out of something that cannot be seen or touched. We generally call this unknown substance "dark matter" / "dark energy". The recent discovery of gravitational waves gives us a handle o...

In *The 12 Networking Truths* Swedish artist Jonas Lund will discuss how he has attempted to subvert the contemporary art world system by using different types of exploits to gain an upper hand against the competition. From designing an algorithm for art production to data mining art world personalities, the artist will describe how he has incorporated a classic programming mindset in an otherwise...

A physically unclonable function, or PUF, is some physical structure with properties that are easy to verify, hard to predict, and practically impossible to clone. Ideally, this means it's a device-unique unchanging identifier, which can be used for improving security. However, it can be at odds with privacy and anonymity. This talk will give you an overview of the thirty years of history behind P...

As a soft roboticist I am constantly searching for inspiration for novel soft actuators, and as a home cook and artist I consider eating an object to be a high-level form of interactivity. Having noted the similarities between cast silicone and gummi candies it was natural to combine these interests. I will share my experiments in assessing different candies for their engineering potential, and sh...

At 32C3 we shot lasers into space... now it's lasers in space! We look at space- and airborne laser platforms and what practical uses people have come up with (hint: mostly more or less secret communication and military use). We'll also recap the basic physics and boundaries and check if 'pew pew pew' is really gonna cut it (hint: mostly no). To close, we'll have a look at laser based propulsion f...

Talk presents findings from sociological investigation on hacking collectives. I will try to answer the question whether hacking collectives are laboratories, as seen by sociology of science. I will also show some peculiar traits of hacking collective, beneficial both for sciences and societies. Perhaps academia needs hackers more than it’s willing to admit? about this event: https://fahrplan.even...

For the past three years we studied the world’s largest 3D printing community “Thingiverse”. We explored the remix-relationships—accessible due the community’s use of open licenses—of more than 200.000 individual designs, tracked an entire week’s new designs for half a year, interviewed more than 80 creators and surveyed over 200 more. This allowed us to develop a deep understanding of the creativ...
