The interactive installation / on-line project "Data Record of Mobile Identities" is a part of on-going science based investigation to assess emotional, cognitive and behavioural states of travellers conducted by Monika Codourey during her Swiss artists-in-labs 2008 Residence.

From an artistic perspective the objective of this installation is to draw an attention to issues pertaining to the classification of mobile subjects and concepts of new surveillance based on biometric authentification with database inscription.

The visitors are kindly asked for their voluntary participation in the survey and the project by filling out a " 5 minutes Travel Form" consisting of 17 multiple choice questions. These questions are about traveller`s mobility patterns, use of mobile devices during travel, their perception of the airport space and in particular their experience at the security/border controls. An anonymous Data Record Card is generated based on the filled-in form and can be viewed in the public data record.

The researcher/artist ensures confidentiality of the participant's identity and data throughout the conduct and reporting of the research. The participant can change and withdraw from the project at any time by editing or deleting his/her data. (access code will be assigned).
