'#TechnologiesofHope: 100 Responses to the Pandemic' is an artistic and research project that takes viewers on a journey through the world of 100 #pandemic products. Listen to our co-founder Marek Tuszynski discussing the project for @Stegi_occ@twitter.com: https://www.mixcloud.com/movement_radio/you-and-ai-qa-w-daphne-dragona-feat-marek-tuszynski-14072021/

Hundreds of #data-driven technologies have been developed in response to the global #COVID-19 pandemic. #TechnologiesofHope looks at 100 of these, ostensibly designed to observe, sense, mitigate or modify the #coronavirus and its (potential) carriers https://tacticaltech.org/news/techpandemic

The last of the featured '#TechnologiesofHope: 100 Responses to the #Pandemic' is #Redpoint Positioning. Their 'social distancing solution' links #IoT devices, sensors, and robotics to a network capable of monitoring location with an accuracy of up 10cm: https://techpandemic.theglassroom.org/#redpoint-positioning-tech

Another of the '#TechnologiesofHope: 100 Responses to the #Pandemic' is from the German company #Kinexon. Their wearable wristbands proactively warn users if they do not maintain a 2-metre distance and record instances of contact and 'contact intensity': https://techpandemic.theglassroom.org/#safezone

#Supercom is an Israeli company that produces ankle tags and bracelets to monitor offenders. This same technology has been adapted for #coronavirus quarantine and isolation monitoring.

The next of the '#TechnologiesofHope: 100 Responses to the #Pandemic' is #Draganfly, a Canadian #drone developer. Their "PANDEMIC Drone" can observe if individuals are maintaining distance in public, covering their mouths to cough, or even have a fever: https://techpandemic.theglassroom.org/#pandemic-drone-australia

#Megvii is a Chinese company specialising in facial recognition technologies - which they have now adapted for intelligent fever and mask wearing detection.

Each day this week, we profile a company from '#TechnologiesofHope: 100 Responses to the #Pandemic'. #NSOGroup, in the news due to the #Pegasus scandal, developed FLEMING, "an advanced mapping tool that identifies the spread of #coronavirus in real-time": https://techpandemic.theglassroom.org/#fleming-nso-group

How might we have to change our behaviour in a potential 'no touch' future? The final category of #COVID19 tech in our interactive research project '#TechnologiesofHope: 100 Responses to the #Pandemic' is MODIFYING - Behavioural Intelligence: https://techpandemic.theglassroom.org/#modifying-section

Can you control a virus without controlling the host? The third category of #COVID19 tech in our interactive research project '#TechnologiesofHope: 100 Responses to the #Pandemic' is MITIGATING: Mobility Intelligence: https://techpandemic.theglassroom.org/#controlling-section

When a virus enters the host - how do we know it is there? The second category of #COVID19 tech in our interactive research project '#TechnologiesofHope: 100 Responses to the #Pandemic' is SENSING - Biometric Intelligence: https://techpandemic.theglassroom.org/#sensing-section

How can we catch a virus before it becomes visible or spreads? The first category of #COVID19 tech in our new interactive research project '#TechnologiesofHope: 100 Responses to the #Pandemic' is OBSERVING - Ambient Intelligence: https://techpandemic.theglassroom.org/#observing-section

#TechnologiesofHope looks at the explosion of #COVID19 technology into most aspects of our lives. What are the implications of the '#pandemic pivot'? Where is the line between public good and private interest, safety and #surveillance, hope and fear?
