The Exposing the Invisible (ETI) web site provides a toolkit (called The Kit) to support security investigations, among other things, and is a project of Tactical Tech, a non-profit outfit based in Berlin, Germany.
The Kit is a solid starting point for those who believe in the power of information as evidence but who recognise that working with information does not necessarily lead to immediate results or desired changes. The investigative process itself can be time consuming, demanding, tiresome and even dangerous; but it can also turn a curious individual or an incidental witness into a skilled documentarian, researcher or activist. We see investigation as a journey in the literal sense, but also in the broader sense of what it can achieve and the impact it can have on the investigator.
The project has been actively experimenting with ways to promote investigation as one of the most important forms of public engagement. Through a series of films, interviews, guides and resources, ETI looks at different techniques, tools and methods along with the individual practices of those working at the new frontiers of investigation.
Tactical Tech is a Berlin-based non-profit organization that investigates the evolving impact of digital technologies on society. Through their work they aim to educate, advocate and create practical solutions that contribute to the wider socio-political debate around digital security, privacy and the ethics of data.
