This document discusses using crowdsourcing to create digital art. It provides examples of Aaron Koblin's crowdsourced digital art projects from 2006 to 2014 that involved collecting many individual contributions from online crowds to create animated works. These projects demonstrate how crowdsourcing can be used to generate creative content at a large scale by distributing tasks to an online network.

The Waag Society operates several labs and facilities such as a FabLab for digital fabrication. It has worked on many open data and mobile application projects in Amsterdam around themes like education, mobility and urban planning. The goal is to empower users and citizens through open sharing of data and technologies.
Public Service Media In The Digital Age?
Slides from my panel at Public service media in the digital age

Stakeholder Engagement Sucks
While social media engagement could potentially drive corporations to be more sustainable, true stakeholder engagement through these channels often avoids addressing issues of power imbalances and fails to challenge core business values, resulting in only superficial sustainability efforts. Additionally, social media is revealing social inequities like how bankers' bonuses rely on the invisible labor of vulnerable groups. For progress, companies should focus on empowering people and open collaboration to "construct alternatives" using digital tools, rather than seeing themselves at the center surrounded by stakeholders.
2D3 Parellelsessie Week Digitaal Erfgoed: Lora Aroyo / VU
The document discusses digital hermeneutics, which is a theory of interpreting information by bringing people and technology together. It describes using a simple event model, open annotation, and SKOS to model and link historical media like events, places, times, actors, and concepts. This helps engage users by supporting browsing and exploration of the linked historical data through event narratives. It also discusses using crowdsourcing to extract entities, events and perspectives from cultural heritage collections and linking them to improve discovery for digital humanities researchers.
Rikard Fröberg - Events for everybody
Rikard's presentation: Events for all - A guide for making events accessible
Text is CC-BY, Photos/illusgtrations - see photo credits at the end
FFKP, The Society for Free Culture and Software, runs a project putting together a guide for how to make an event accessible to all people. In Sweden, there are tons of guides and materials on guidelines, policies, and tips for making different public events more accessible. These are distributed over a large number of government organisations, NGOs and interest groups working with politics for the disabled, and even private business organisations.
What FFKP saw as a challenge was first to make a better overview of all these resources but in one place. Second, we saw the need for a guide written not by or for any one of the stakeholders, which can be very different in nature, but also (with the stakeholders).
Therefore this guide is written in collaboration and in dialogue with what we identified as the three main stakeholders: Organisers, Visitors and the Society. Organisers are anyone who arranges an event or hosts events at their venue. Visitors are anyone who might have any type of disability, or knowledge thereof. By Society, we mean representatives from any national, regional or local government or its organisations.
What makes our approach unique, we believe, is that it aims to produce guidelines, resources and tips produced in dialogue of all three stakeholders, and not from any single perspective. The perspectives of a government authority is very different from that of a society for the rights of the disabled, for instance. We also decided from the very start that we would publish this guide with a free license and we went with Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike. We think it is imperative that a guide like this is a living document which can be built upon, remixed and cited by other forces in the future, without having to ask for permission or going through the hassles of obtaining permissions from the authors.

Digital crowds - wasted opportunity?
The document discusses crowds both online and in the real world. It notes that Wikipedia had nearly 4 million views and over 2,000 edits by 1,000 individuals for one page on kittens. Online crowds have real impacts, as server farms accounted for 14% of global carbon emissions in 2007, expected to rise to 18% by 2020. The document suggests crowds on sites like Facebook and FixMyStreet are large but can be harnessed for good or wasted opportunities, and that digital crowds could help solve problems if companies focused them on issues rather than ads. It ends by questioning what could be done if more harnessed crowds for good causes.

FREE (LIBRE AND GRATIS)
Free (libre and gratis) content encourages innovation by making it easier for others to remix, modify and build upon the work of others. New competitive business models are emerging that are based on free content and services rather than proprietary licenses. With the near-zero cost of copying and distributing information online, the creation effort and intangible value must be protected. Models like iTunes provide greater returns to authors than traditional models based on CD distribution. We must think of business models based on the abundance of processing power, storage and bandwidth available online.
ThingsCon Amsterdam 2016 - keynote Usman Haque
2 December Usman Haque gave the closing keynote at ThingsCon Amsterdam 2016.
Decision-making and design are central to the production of technologies in networked urban environments, but it’s important to understand how definitions of efficiency, optimisation, etc, that often underpin such processes, especially in so-called ‘smart cities’ help determine how and why things are implemented and with whom and where power concentrates. The questions of who designs and who decides (data, technologies, actions), as well as how we collectively make designs and decisions about the future are crucial. This talk will discuss these issues in the context of some of Usman’s work in the internet of things.

Examples like Wikipedia and open source show how value increases exponentially as more people contribute and connect. Network effects will scale solutions through collaboration rather than markets or states alone.

UITP is a global organization with over 1500 member companies from 96 countries working in sustainable mobility. Their document discusses the challenges of rural mobility and provides examples of solutions being implemented. Rural areas face low population densities, high costs, and high car dependency for transportation. New technologies and shared mobility options like demand-responsive transit, car-sharing, ride-sharing, and autonomous vehicles can help address these challenges by providing more flexible and integrated transportation that better meets varied rural needs. The document recommends customer-focused services, additional multi-purpose transportation options, improved land use planning, and integrated local and regional policies to support rural sustainability.

Technobiophilia: soothing our connected minds and easing our wired lives
In her 2013 book Technobiophilia: Nature and Cyberspace, Sue Thomas interrogates the prevalence online of nature-derived metaphors, and comes to a surprising conclusion. The root of this trend, she believes, lies in biophilia, defined by E.O. Wilson as ‘the innate attraction to life and lifelike processes’. Working from the strong thread of biophilia which runs through our online lives, she expands Wilson’s definition to the ‘innate attraction to life and lifelike processes *as they appear in technology*’, a phenomenon she calls ‘technobiophilia’. Attention to technobiophilia and its application to urban design offers a way to make our digital lives integrated, healthy, and mindful. In this talk she outlines the key elements of the concept and shows how, even in an intensely digital culture, the restorative qualities of biophilia can alleviate mental fatigue and enhance our capacity for directed attention, thus soothing our connected minds and easing our wired lives.

Stepping into Internet-Virtual Worlds and Future of Value Creation
This document provides an overview of virtual worlds and the potential opportunities they present. It discusses:
- An international project exploring how entrepreneurs and SMEs can use virtual worlds to improve competitiveness.
- Examples of economic activity in virtual worlds, including the rise of "avapreneurs" and how virtual worlds are being used for collaboration, training, and innovation.
- The benefits of immersion in virtual worlds but also challenges to adoption such as technology limitations and lack of non-verbal cues.
- The future of virtual worlds, including how they may disrupt traditional models of work and organizations through greater mobility and more open, collective models of value creation.
Mind the Gap
1) The document discusses how new media and Web 2.0 technologies can enable museums to have a dialogue with audiences and allow audiences to participate in creating and sharing culture.
2) It argues that museums should move from a traditional broadcast model to an online conversation model where they act as curators and guides rather than gatekeepers, and play a hub role in community discovery and collaboration.
3) The document advocates that museums use social networks like Twitter and Facebook to become virtual social meeting spaces and enable dialogue between audiences, museum staff, and artists.
Smithsonian Affiliates 14 June 2011
This document discusses mobile strategies for museums and provides examples from the Smithsonian Institution. Some key points:
1) Mobile apps and websites are not typically profitable on their own but can support museums' missions and generate network effects by enhancing the visitor experience and engaging communities.
2) The Smithsonian aims to "recruit the world" to contribute knowledge through mobile, putting the institution in people's hands not just pockets.
3) Examples from Cooper-Hewitt, NMNH, and NASM demonstrate how mobile can extend exhibits and engage audiences both on and off-site.
4) The vision is for museums to become distributed networks through multiplatform engagement and crowdsourcing via mobile.

Publiekswerking En Nieuwe Media In Musea
1) The document discusses how museums can use new media like social networks, APIs, and web 2.0 technologies to have a dialogue with audiences and become less of a traditional gatekeeper of culture.
2) It advocates that museums should play the role of curator by selecting content and guide by explaining and combining content, while also acting as a hub to facilitate community discovery and collaboration.
3) The key point is that new media should be used as an instrument to further the museum's mission, not as an end goal in itself, and museums must ensure technologies actually enable participation rather than just communication.
i-doc talk for ESoDdoc 2013
This is the talk that I gave to ESoDoc on September 2013. Feel free to get inspired, but do reference me if you use it!
DIY Design
The document discusses the histories, cultures, and practices associated with DIY design and maker culture. It examines who is represented and celebrated in narratives around open design and DIY movements. It also analyzes tensions between open and closed approaches to design, such as the tradeoffs of ease of use versus user control when systems are closed versus open.

Transferring Sensing to a Mixed Virtual and Physical Experience
This document discusses transferring sensing abilities between the physical and virtual worlds in three ways: 1) Reversing the original sensing function so that input becomes output and vice versa. 2) Transferring sensing to another sense, like an installation that transfers gazed objects to related sounds. 3) Extending sensing to support developing abilities, like an eye-tracking drawing assistant that helps with proportion, perspective, and style based on gaze patterns. The overall goal is to explore creating amazing works using a cyber-physical system through reversing, transferring, and extending original sensory experiences between the physical and virtual.
Collecting a Image Label from Crowds Using Amazon Mechanical Turk
1) Amazon Mechanical Turk is a crowdsourcing marketplace where requesters can create Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) for workers to complete for a reward.
2) To use MTurk, requesters must sign up for an AWS account, create a requester account, and use the MTurk Command Line Tools to distribute HITs, collect results, and manage their workflow.
3) Collecting labels for images is a common HIT where requesters can pay around $0.01 per label assigned, and collect multiple labels for each image to ensure accuracy.

Designing physical and digital experience in social web
This document discusses designing physical and digital experiences for the social web. It first discusses the importance of understanding people and their behaviors. It then outlines BJ Fogg's behavior model, which states that for a behavior to occur, there must be sufficient motivation, ability, and a trigger. The document explains each factor in more detail and how they relate to web design. It suggests that understanding the behavior model can help design better user interfaces. Finally, it proposes that crowdsourcing could be another solution for web design by dividing large tasks into smaller microtasks that crowds can efficiently complete to then integrate into the overall solution.

The power of example
Scott Klemmer is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University who researches how to increase the quality of people's creative work. His research focuses on example search and adaptation, insightful prototyping tools, and rapidly designing alternatives. Some of his work includes Bricolage, which allows example-based retargeting for web design, and Blueprint, a system for style-based exploration of design galleries. He has also collaborated with Steven Dow on research into how prototyping dynamics, sharing multiple designs, and parallel prototyping can lead to better design results.
Responsive web design
This document discusses responsive web design techniques including flexible grids, flexible images using max-width, and media queries. A flexible grid uses relative units like percentages and em instead of pixels to resize and reflow content depending on screen size. Flexible images are made responsive using max-width: 100% so they scale down but not up. Media queries allow applying different CSS styles depending on common device breakpoints like mobile versus desktop.
