The new Arcam exhibition examines the changing relationship between technology and humans, and the impact of technology in and on the built environment.

Prototypes of our projects Shuttercam and Shutterring are part of the exhibition, as well as the interactive installation Senses of Amsterdam.

The City of Amsterdam's sensor register - as part of the City's sensor regulation that we contributed to - is displayed too.

Appliances in and around the house are becoming increasingly intelligent. The number of smart doorbells is rising quickly. Access systems using biometric data determine if doors should open. In the city, scan cars check whether parking fees have been paid, while the number of sensors grows, monitoring traffic, air quality or crowdiness.

The relationship between technology and society has always inspired designers. In the exhibition Private_Eye_Butler_Spy, you can look back and gaze ahead. Through the themes ‘Human//Machine’, ‘Smart Spatial Manifestations’, ‘Privacy and Ethics’, and ‘Signal Not Found’, the exhibition explores which ethical issues and design tasks this high-tech future entails.
