The new RTRSRCH journal by Karen Lancel and Hermen Maat is about their research Tele_Trust. Tele_Trust is a meeting place, an agora, to research and engage with new parameters for online trust. We are faced with a paradox: while we increasingly demand transparency in our changing social eco-system, we also cover our bodies with personal communication technology. Tele_Trust is a visual and poetic examination of emotional and social tension in contemporary hybrid cities, in the areas of visibility, presence, privacy and trust.
