Frederik de Wilde is an artist whose practice spans visual art, media art, and philosophy. He investigates and works at the intersection of art, science, and technology. His oeuvre offers critical insights into technology and society, exploring the inaudible, the elusive, and the invisible in both digital and physical spaces.

With TARPIT, the art project he is developing as a net-artist-in-residence, he aims to investigate how web bots shamelessly scrape the internet—including our own websites—in search of relevant data. This raises important questions: For whom? For what purpose?

At CPDP.ai, he is primarily seeking expertise as a source of input for this open-source project. What ethical questions are at stake? They can emerge from all directions—for instance, from the art world or the field of cybersecurity.

The panel is conceived as a workshop and Q&A—not one where questions come only from the audience, but one where the artist will also pose questions to the CPDP.ai community.
