More and more companies and government agencies find themselves in the press and courtrooms for data privacy and security law violations. Given the rapidly increasing technological options to collect and commercialize personal data, this area of the law is rapidly growing. This course will prepare law students for the challenges and opportunities of international data privacy law, with a particular focus on United States Federal / California privacy law and European Union / German data protection law. Objective of the lectures is to familiarize students with the typical legal problems arising from the conflicting interests in data and privacy in today's global economy and society, in particular in the areas of law enforcement, commerce, media and employment. The significance and practical relevance of domestic, international and foreign national laws is rapidly increasing for individuals, government officials, business people, attorneys, judges, and legislators around the world. We will look at how data processing and laws affect individual privacy in the various areas, including government and private surveillance, press reporting, commercial treatment of financial, health and communications information, and direct marketing. Topics covered include common law, constitutional and statutory rights and obligations regarding data privacy, data security and legal protection for databases under California, U.S. Federal, European Union, public international and other countries' laws, including, for example, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, rules on spamming, wiretapping, homeland security surveillance, and employee monitoring.

This course is part of the Laurea Magistrale degree program and is intended for advanced level students. Enrollment is by permission of the instructor. The course analyzes the connections between artistic practices and political issues in relation with the development and expansion of digital technologies. The course gives a historical-political perspective on the evolution of digitization from the birth of the internet to platform capitalism through a visual approach drawing on the main artistic movements that reflected on new technologies. The course is articulated into three parts. First, the course frames a political genealogy of the digital technologies, highlighting the philosophical issues they pose. For this reason, a brief history of the evolution of internet until the burst of platform capitalism is presented. Then, the course focuses on some of the main cultural paradigms about the technological innovation (Californian ideology, Transhumanism, Accelerationism, etc…) to analyze the way they frame the relationship between the digital and the human. Finally, the course explores how artists embedded and renewed such paradigms in their practices and how art changed thanks to the introduction of digital tools (artificial intelligence, NFT, etc.)

This course supports progression towards an independent studio practice. Students are asked to develop studio-based projects in response to technology as a ‘non human Other.’ In this context, non-human Other refers to human engagement with technologies, practices, machines, tools, in ways that yield ideas, critical thinking, and a systems-based way of thinking and making. Getting to know this non-human Other as a collaborator, deepening an understanding and/or relationship with it, working with it in a transformative and artistic way to produce a body of work engaging with contemporary art ideas and practices, is the purpose of the course. Students are encouraged to pursue exploration with their chosen practice(s), including painting, print, photography, and time-based or sculptural approaches. The course encourages increased artistic independence supported by seminars, readings, small group student-led and lecturer supported dialogue. Underpinning all teaching and learning in this course are the principles of partnership, participation, protection, and whanaungatanga, explored through exchange, collaboration, and shared responsibility for learning within a community of contemporary art practice.
