Venue: Courtyard 8, MuseumsQuartier
After 9/11, the preventive measures taken under the pretext of security and the war against terrorism are about to constrain fundamental rights and the freedom of people. Methods such as data retention, the collection of biometric data or body scanners are based on the possible threat by every individual person, who therefore becomes a potential terrorist.
POTENTIAL TERRORIST wants to raise the conscious awareness about these possible dangers.
