For CPDP.ai, Privacy Salon and community radio station dublab are teaming up for Avatar.fm, a temporary radio project broadcasting live from CPDP.ai during three consecutive days.

Giving a voice to the young and new generation of privacy, data protection, AI, and computer scientist heads, Avatar.fm will amplify stories and testimonials of students, junior researchers and other activists in the form of ‘Console Talks’ and ‘Interludes’.  

The radio program will be hosted by Savsannah, one of dublab’s in-house radio hosts. Together with dublab favourite DJ’s, she will guide us through an amazing lineup of guests. She’ll connect fifteen-minute ‘Console Talks’ featuring representatives from renowned organizations such as the Chaos Computer Club, Europe's leading association of hackers; The Security Distillery, a student-run think tank connected to the University of Glasgow; Panoptykon, a group of young people who refused to treat new technologies as a cure-all, among others. Here and there ‘Interludes’ will sneak in to infuse the show.  

The first two days will be concluded by two live acts in front of the Avatar.fm studio at Gare Maritime Brussels. The first day we have the pleasure to immerse ourselves into Ugnè Uma’s melismatic and intertextual cosmos, while the second day we’ll be enchanted by Ben Bertrand’s clarinet and countless machines.
