The age of Big Technology raises an important societal question: do we have a freedom of personal information that is an inseparable part of our identity in cyber space? My artwork reflects on two major opposite feelings regarding this issue using a bird as the most common symbol of freedom in art. The positive aspect of simplicity and freedom of IoT usage is portrayed in the overall composition: the bird flies away without being disturbed by a bracelet. Smart devices are akin to a mystery box that contains everything about us. Only external forces know how to unlock it. Equipped with the various sensors and connected to a smartphone, IoT devices are fully integrated into people’s and animals’ daily chores. And this also has a negative impact such as data privacy risks depicted in the data leakage metaphor and exposure of different data sheets.
