The boundaries of private life 
Privatlivets grenser: Nye samvær 


The boundaries of private life: New gatherings - new dividing lines
is an exhibition that examines how new digital technologies intervene in our lives.

The exhibition is part of the permanent exhibition I/O on information and communication technology at The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology . While I/O focuses on objects, The Boundaries of Privacy: New Socialization - New Dividing Lines draws attention to boundaries, belonging and bodily experience.

The boundaries of private life is an intimate and tactile room within the room that forms a contrast to the main exhibition. Where I/O communicates through AI and digital solutions, visitors are invited here to a sensory experience and to use their own experiences as digital users. The exhibition invites reflection on new social dividing lines, polarization, loneliness, and what bodily proximity means for communication. The exhibition also provides an insight into digitization in the relationship between humans and animals, through the use of drones and GPS in reindeer husbandry. 

The exhibition springs from the research project ' Privatlivets Grenser; Sociality and belonging in digital everyday life ' at the University of Oslo and the Norwegian Institute for Natural Research. It has been developed in collaboration with The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology and the Academy of Performing Arts at Østfold University College.
