The event featured an exhibition of wearable technologies from the Futures 10 collection. The audience was given the chance to engage with and challenge their conceptions of privacy, security and surveillance.

In an age when the death of passwords and privacy is declared daily, could our bodies become the ultimate passwords?

From our fingertips, eyes or faces to our heart rate, vein-pattern, bodily odour or even our knees and thoughts, biometrics are offering new ways of accurately identifying individuals and securing their personal information.

But how accurate are biometric measurements? Who owns the data and what is it being used for? Passwords can be changed, but what about our fingerprints or DNA - what happens when they are compromised? These are the questions our panel discussed.
