Podcast (Dutch)
Julia Janssen takes you one journey behind the surface of the Internet. Because what happens on the other side of the screen when you click? The online universe has a lot to offer. But what price do we pay for access?
Due to new projects and exhibitions, Achter de Klik Podcast will be on pause until November 2020.

biography
"I agree with the terms," "click here to continue." A click on "accept" comes in many variations - and we thoughtlessly click. But what do we permit?
Julia Janssen creates awareness about the impact of digitalization on our society – mainly focussed on data ownership. She takes her audience on a journey behind the surface of the Internet. The online universe has a lot to offer. But what price do we pay for access? Because also in cyberspace counts: nothing is for free. When it seems to be free, then you are their product.
As a designer and artist, she develops innovative yet accessible perspectives on the complex world of information technology. She creates interaction with the audience, and her work offers room for interpretation. She makes people - from ordinary citizens to politicians - think about the function of privacy, the value of data, the importance of digital sovereignty, and the future of online identity.
Julia Janssen creates movement towards data-ownership.
#wedonotaccept
During Art school (Graphic Design Arnhem, ArtEZ Institute of Arts 2012-16), Janssen developed an interest in data and technology: user- and privacy policies, our relationship with social media, and alternative economics.
With her graduation project, Bank of Online Humanity (2016), she stated, "We have been enslaved by the data business," pointing to the economic value of personal data and the monetization of people's attention. This project won the Crypto Design Award, audience vote. From that moment, she dedicated her practice as an artist to data sovereignty and the future of the Onternet.
In 2017 she received a grant for Talent Development from Creative Fund NL and a Pionier Grant from SIDN fund for Innovation and Internet. Fifteen months of research about data economics resulted in The Attention Fair – An installation with 12 games, visuals, and experiments about the value of (personal).
In 2019 she started the reading out loud performance' 0.0146 seconds' – collectively, we are reading and recording 835 privacy policies that got accepted with just one click on 'got it.' This project shows the fragile position of the internet user and the manipulative strategies of Internet economics.
Currently, she is working on a new project about information and identity and started recently with a podcast: Achter de Klik (Behind the Click).

"Julia Janssen shows the tremendous importance of art and culture in making us think about what is happening in our society. Secondly, she shows the absurdity of the premise of permission. Because how can this be 'informed consent?'"
Said Kathalijne Buitenweg, a member of the Dutch Parliament for the Green Left (GroenLinks), during a debate on the future of the information society in the House of Representatives.
