DESCRIPTION:The Portable Snowden Surveillance Archive is a replica of the 
 Snowden Digital Surveillance Archive - created and maintained by Canadian 
 Journalists for Free Expression and researchers at the University of Toron
 to. The suitcase here is two tools in one: it is an autonomous wifi networ
 k and web server that enables one to search all of the until-now published
  Snowden documents\; and is a surveillance demonstration tool\, replaying 
 the Internet Protocol conversations that occur between the user's smartpho
 ne/tablet/laptop and the tiny server inside the suitcase.\n\nThe Sensing M
 ass Surveillance workshop presents the legal concept of privacy and examin
 es our historical relationships with telecommunications providers. I then 
 present a number of important mass surveillance programs revealed through 
 the Snowden documents and introduce the audience to the Portable Snowden S
 urveillance Archive. Here\, the audience will be able to search through al
 l the documents as well as the media articles with which they were first p
 ublished into the public domain. Finally\, I show the audience how the Por
 table Snowden Surveillance Archive has been learning things about them and
  extend the conversation into debates over agency\, consent and legal auth
 ority in the context of big data. \n\nThe Portable Snowden Surveillance Ar
 chive is the creation of Dr. Evan Light\, FRQSC Postdoctoral Fellow at the
  Mobile Media Lab\, Concordia University and part of Performigrations\, a 
 touring EU-funded interactive art exhibit.\n\nTo sign up visit http://www.
