Dubbed \u201cthe new oil<\/a>,\u201d data is fast becoming one of the most valuable resources on Earth, and we consumers are its richest source. Our personal data is mined, traded and sold by private and public entities at unprecedented rates. As each of us blissfully taps, reads, watches and visits online every day, how often do we really consider where our data goes in the process? How is it used after we give it away for \u201cfree\u201d goods and services? How much control do we truly have over our online movements when ever smarter algorithms predict our behavior and guide us behind the scenes?<\/p>\n

Last November<\/a>, more than 10,000 people considered those questions while visiting The Glass Room in New York City. This week, The Glass Room London opens its doors to the public<\/a> for a run\u00a0in Central Cross through Nov. 12.<\/p>\n

A \u201ctech store with a twist,\u201d The Glass Room is like a Black Mirror episode come to life, one part art<\/a>, one part education<\/a> experience that prods us to confront the relationship between technology, privacy and online security and discover what\u2019s being gained and lost in the mix.<\/p>\n
