Digitalization is omnipresent and has become indispensable. The internet opens up unprecedented opportunities for individuals: to go on an endless journey without having to get up from the couch. To roam through world knowledge and omniscience for as long and as far as they like. Would you like to be in the know about video surveillance, for example? You quickly research the term, which refers to the observation of places by optical-electronic devices. The data is often stored digitally and the images can be analyzed using software. Before you continue to deepen your knowledge of this, let me ask you a question: while you are learning about this on the Internet, what do you think the Internet is learning about you? What conclusions does it draw from this? When you surf, you leave behind clear traces, and a surveillance state could use this data to spy on and discipline individuals, and the economy is already using it to find out the tastes of individual consumers. Big data harbors the risk of users losing their privacy and sovereignty. How can we benefit from the new technology without accepting its disadvantages?
The silver niobium coin “The Transparent Man” raises such questions. Answering them will determine how freely we will live in the future. How can we effectively protect ourselves from digital “home invasion” and “mind invasion”?
The value side shows a human eye in the niobium core, which stands for surveillance on the one hand and refers to the biometric method of iris recognition on the other. It can be used to uniquely identify any person. The silver ring is modeled on a camera lens. On the other side, the person is being observed by a camera, as indicated by the REC symbol and the 20:20 running time. In the niobium, one of several human silhouettes is placed in the foreground. Individual squares emerge from it. These symbolize the personal data that is collected about the person.
