    Datachiri 2.0: A Creative Storytelling Series on Data Rights [Español]

    “¿Qué pasaría si hubiera un monstruo mítico que chupa datos biológicos en vez de sangre?” Como parte de nuestra serie 'ficciones creativas', Privacy is Global se complace en presentar Datachiri. 2.0. Te invitamos a entrar en el paisaje sonoro de La Paz, Bolivia, en 2043. El gobierno se ha disuelto en gran medida y la gente depende de los dispositivos proporcionados de forma gratuita por una organización llamada 'la Congregación'. Allí vive Sascha, una joven en silla de ruedas que también depende en buena medida de la Congregación para poder usar su silla y desplazarse. Sin embargo, un peligro parece estar al acecho, de boca a oído la gente en La Paz habla de un monstruo mitológico capaz de hackear las redes de la Congregación y alimentarse de biodatos. Cuando el dispositivo de Sascha deja de reconocerla comienza una búsqueda para saber qué hay detrás de esta desaparición sospechosa, y qué significa existir, o dejar de hacerlo, en tiempos del Datachiri. Datachiri 2.0 es una historia escrita por Marianne Díaz Hernández basada en el cómic escrito por Alejandro Barrientos e ilustrado por Joaquín Cuevas en colaboración con Internet Bolivia. Las ‘ficciones creativas’ de ADAPT reunió a equipos de escritores de ficción, activistas, abogades, dibujantes de cómics, comediantes, ingeniero/as de audio e ilustradores para pensar en cómo podríamos lograr que más personas se interesen en la privacidad de los datos y la defensa de los derechos digitales a través de la ficción especulativa, el humor y los nuevos modos de comunicación. Para ver el cómic, consulta https://internetbolivia.org/datachiri-2-0/ Para saber más sobre el estado de la protección de datos en Bolivia, escucha nuestro episodio anterior producido en colaboración con Internet Bolivia, visita la línea del tiempo sobre el proceso de promoción de la ley de protección de datos y lee sobre toda la situación en ese país aquí.

    Creative Storytelling for Data Rights: An Introductory Episode to the Series

    “What if there was a mythical monster that sucked our biodata instead of our blood?” “Can you imagine the CEO’s reaction when he realized the whole country’s personal data was stolen from his company’s databases?” “What if we could send messages back in time and warn ourselves about the dangers of losing our privacy?” These are some of the questions that emerged when we asked teams of fiction writers, activists, lawyers, comic book artists, comedians, audio engineers, and illustrators to think about how we could get more people interested in data privacy and digital rights. Over the past 6 months, Internews’ ‘ADAPT’ Project, in collaboration with the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Internet Bolivia, Coding Rights, Paradigm Initiative, and Fundación Ciudadanía y Desarrollo have produced a series of speculative audio fictions.

In this introductory episode, we interview key collaborators from Brazil, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Bolivia who contributed to our four creative audio fictions projects. We discuss why we decided to produce audio fictions, and some of the challenges and opportunities around collaborations between activists and creatives. We invite you to listen to the series and enjoy.
