Belgian creative technologist and artist Dries Depoorter announced three talks this week: September 15 at SAP in Germany, September 17 at the Brave New World conference in Leiden, and September 19 at Nacht van Ontdekkingen, both in the Netherlands.
His work centers on privacy, AI, surveillance, and social media. Notable projects include "Die With Me," an app usable only when a phone battery drops below 5%, and "The Follower," a viral project using open cameras and AI to reveal the reality behind curated Instagram feeds. His work is frequently cited as inspiration for brands and marketers on scarcity-driven engagement and rule-breaking marketing concepts.
