KEEP CALM

& VALIDATE

2017 | ROBIN (Brussels)

Keep Calm & Validate is a musical about the digitization of border management, based on interviews with officers, officials and consultants working for different EU agencies and institutions. Singing of digital fingerprints, fortified data centres and automated border control gates, Keep Calm & Validate examines how dataist ideology is reshaping the way EU citizens speak and think of their unrecognised co-citizens.
