This document discusses design fiction and how design can shape the future through crafting compelling visions of possible worlds. It argues that design should be viewed as a form of storytelling that inserts designed objects into broader social contexts and futures. Well-designed objects can become important props that help tell stories about the future. The document also discusses how science fiction prototypes, or "diegetic prototypes", shown in films can influence public perception of technologies and help bring imagined futures into being.

The Drift Deck (Analog Edition) is an algorithmic puzzle game used to navigate city streets. A deck of cards is used as instructions that guide you as you drift about the city. Each card contains an object or situation, followed by a simple action. For example, a situation might be — you see a fire hydrant, or you come across a pigeon lady. The action is meant to be performed when the object is seen, or when you come across the described situation. For example — take a photograph, or make the next right turn. The cards also contain writerly extras, quotes and inspired words meant to supplement your wandering about the city.
Processed in collaboration with Dawn Lozzi who did all of the graphic design and production.

Design Fiction: A short slideshow on design, science, fact and fictionJulian Bleecker
http://cli.gs/DesignFictionEssay
An exploration of the entanglements amongst science fiction and science fact, in order to show how they are not distinct, but infinitely knotted together. Why do this? In order to wonder — what are effective ways of designing the future?
Design fiction is making things that tell stories. It's like science-fiction in that the stories bring into focus certain matters-of-concern, such as how life is lived, questioning how technology is used and its implications, its ability to speculate about the course of events; all of the unique abilities of science fiction to incite imagination-filling conversations about possible habitable, life-affirming future worlds.

This document discusses the concept of an "Internet of Things" where physical objects are connected to the internet and able to participate online. It describes how as more "things" are networked, they gain agency and ability to influence our experiences. The document also discusses "blogjects" which are physical objects that disseminate digital content online, and how this blurs the lines between the physical world and digital world. It provides several examples of projects where physical objects are networked and able to interact with people in novel ways.
Communities are at the core of the human experience and our design practice, yet we don’t always put the same level of active effort in designing our communities as we do in designing the products and services we make. We live and work embedded in networks of other people and systems. Communities are defined by shared norms and culture, and have a massive impact on how we live, think and act. Why leave this up to chance? We are all stewards of the many communities we engage in every day, and we need to take an active role in mindfully crafting these communities. So, how do we craft better communities? What does better even mean? This talk is a reflection on my experiences building and crafting communities at a variety of scales from the personal to the global. I will discuss my successes and failures, my fears and delights, as well as lessons learned along the way. We are nothing without the communities we inhabit, so let’s make them great together.

The document discusses developing a reference curriculum for Digital Humanities degree programs. It analyzes the types of existing DH programs, including their scope and content. There is consensus that modeling and formalization should be core components, though disagreements exist around specific skills and standards. The document proposes three levels of DH training: introductory skills for all humanities disciplines, discipline-specific skills to train digital humanists, and skills for curating digital humanities content as a profession. Developing a common curriculum could facilitate international collaboration and student/faculty exchanges between programs.

Wissenschaftliche Arbeitsteilung im digitalen Zeitalter – unter schweizerischen Bedingungen
"Ich weiss nicht, ob die Geschichte wahr ist, doch sie wurde mir so erzählt, und sie spielt auf der Kirchenfeldbrücke in Bern. Diese Brücke verbindet die Altstadt (Stadt- und Universitäts-bibliothek) mit dem Kirchenfeld (Landesbibliothek). In den frühen 1990er Jahren planten die Direktoren der beiden Bibliotheken (heute tragen beide neue Namen) jeder für sich, seine Institution vom Zeitalter der Zettelkästen ins Zeitalter der Informatik und dann auch des In-ternet zu befördern. Niemand wusste genau, welches der beste Weg dazu sei. Man wusste nur, dass etwas geschehen musste. Wenn die Direktoren über die Brücke gingen – der eine von der Altstadt her, der andere vom Kirchenfeld – wechselten sie unter Umständen die Strassenseite: Man wollte einander nicht begegnen und ging sich aus dem Weg. Mit Blick auf die Förderung der digitalen Infrastruktur für die Geisteswissenschaften: Was war am Verhalten der Direktoren problematisch und was war produktiv und zielführend? Der Kurz-vortrag versucht eine Antwort auf diese Frage zu geben."
The document discusses the history and future of computing and communication technologies from the 1960s to the present. It notes that early visions from the 1960s envisioned an "intergalactic computer network" that could allow communication with aliens. By the 1970s, models of distributed computing using "particles and fields" were being explored. The document suggests that future technologies may treat applications and services as "aliens" that can communicate through open interfaces. It advocates moving beyond normal conceptions to an intergalactic approach that allows scaling across networks.
This is my talk delivered 06/04/2024 at the CUBE event (https://www.uni-corvinus.hu/post/landing-page/cube/?lang=en) at the Gellért Campus of the Corvinus University.
The document provides guidance on developing an attitude for innovation. It discusses what innovation is, generating new ideas, and developing the best ideas. The key steps outlined are to gain buy-in, focus on solving the right problem, gain insights, break patterns to spark new ideas, generate lots of ideas, develop the top ideas, establish a process, make ideas real, recruit diverse teams, and take action to learn through failures. The overall message is that innovation is essential for organizations to remain competitive and that developing creativity can benefit individuals in their careers.

BL Labs 2014 Symposium: The Mechanical Curatorbenosteen
The document discusses the British Library's "Mechanical Curator" experiment of providing direct access to a large collection of digitized books and images. It describes how initial attempts at automated analysis were unsuccessful due to the limitations of models trained on modern photographs. However, the raw images proved interesting to many people. Over time, the project evolved to include crowdsourcing annotations, educational uses, and collaborations with computer science students and other researchers. The author concludes that through such experiments, they can fail quickly and build bridges to open up cultural heritage collections.
Ivan Sutherland - A pioneer in Human Computer InteractionAtul Narkhede
Ivan Sutherland was a pioneer in computer graphics and human-computer interaction. He created Sketchpad, the first interactive graphical user interface and drawing program, while a PhD student at MIT in 1963. Sketchpad introduced fundamental concepts like hierarchical modeling, constraints, and object-oriented programming. Sutherland later developed the first head-mounted display system and augmented reality application called Sword of Damocles. He co-founded Evans & Sutherland to produce graphics hardware and helped establish the University of Utah as a top computer graphics research center. Sutherland made many visionary contributions that shaped the fields of computer graphics, user interfaces, and virtual reality.
Teaching Learning in the Conceptual Age 2007 versionKatie Christo
The document discusses how society is shifting from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age. In the Conceptual Age, skills like design thinking, storytelling, empathy, and finding meaning will be more important than linear, logical skills. It argues we need to teach students these "right brain" skills to succeed in a world where many jobs can be automated. Specifically, it recommends cultivating the "six senses" of design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning through technology-enhanced teaching and learning.
Slides from a series of talks for the IET's IoT India Congress and some associated events - SRM Chennai, PES Bengaluru, Srishti Bengaluru. I used different subsets of the slides in each talk - this is the whole deck.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are discussed. AI is defined as making computers intelligent like humans through understanding, reasoning, planning, communication and perception. Machine learning is a subset of AI that allows machines to learn from experience without being explicitly programmed. The document provides background on AI and ML, including definitions, history, and discussions of intelligence and applications.
A quick synopsis of some of my favorite learnings from EYEO in Minneapolis this year. Sorry the video embeds didn't work in the PDF. Will add a list of links to this description shortly.
This document provides an overview of the history and current state of artificial intelligence. It discusses key events like the Dartmouth workshop in 1956 which is seen as the official birth of AI. The document also explores different applications of AI like in movies, news, and real world tasks. It discusses challenges for the future like ensuring AI is beneficial to humanity and aligned with human values and preferences.
This document provides an overview of an artificial intelligence course, including:
- The course covers introduction to AI history and applications, knowledge representation, problem solving using search and reasoning, machine learning, robotics, and advanced AI topics.
- Required materials include an AI textbook, CLIPS programming guide, and reference books on AI structures and complex problem solving.
- The document then provides definitions and discussions of intelligence, artificial intelligence, applications of AI, and the current capabilities and limitations of AI systems.
Technological Imperialism and Digital WritingLeonardo Flores
Slideshow for my Spectrums of DH Talk for McGill University. Presented on January 15, 2021.
Abstract:
In my talk I will offer an exploration of how the development, distribution, and access to digital technologies have replicated imperialist and colonialist practices of the past and have led to an unequal development of digital writing across the world. I will discuss how the development of electronic literature as a field has happened in privileged academic spaces with institutional resources, research investment, and prestige economies that favor wealthy countries and replicate imperialistic relationships with elit created and researched in the rest of the world. I will conclude by offering some ideas on how we can help decolonize and seek more equitable development of the field.

Originally purely academic research fields, Machine Learning and AI are now definitely mainstream and frequently mentioned in the Tech media (and regular media too).
We’ve also got the explosion of Data Science which encompasses these fields and more. There’s a lot of interesting things going on and a lot of positive as well as negative hype. The terms ML and AI are often used interchangeably and techniques are also often described as being inspired by the brain.
In this talk I will explore the history and evolution of these fields, current progress and the challenges in making artificial brains
From the FreshTech 2017 conference by TechExeter

The document provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI), including its main areas of study, progress made, applications, and ongoing challenges. It discusses how AI involves automated perception, learning, reasoning and planning. While recognition and learning have advanced, planning and general reasoning remain challenging. The document outlines applications in industries like finance, medicine and transportation, but notes that many problems remain unsolved, making AI an active area of research.
AI in Manufacturing: Opportunities & ChallengesTathagat Varma
AI has significant potential to create value in manufacturing through operational performance improvements, workforce augmentation, and sustainability gains. However, manufacturers often struggle to realize this value due to challenges such as a mismatch between AI capabilities and operational needs, a lack of strategic leadership and communication, insufficient cross-functional skills, and issues with data availability and governance. Addressing these adoption challenges will be key to unlocking the full promise of AI in manufacturing.
Rachael Sullivan presents on critiquing the traditional understanding of "text" and the privileging of print culture in higher education. She argues that digital natives demonstrate literacies that challenge print culture norms. While generational differences and a narrow definition of "texts" promote print favoritism, digital texts are interactive and open-ended. The materiality of print creates expectations that don't always transfer to digital media. Educators should embrace diverse literacies and not assume one approach.
The document discusses the history and development of artificial intelligence from its early origins to modern applications. It covers important milestones like Alan Turing's work in the 1950s, the development of reasoning as search algorithms in the 1960s, and the first AI winter from 1974-1980 due to limitations in computing power. The document also discusses current uses of AI in areas like financial markets and internet user tracking, as well as techniques like evolutionary computation and genetic algorithms.
- The document discusses artificial intelligence, including its history, key areas such as knowledge representation and learning, and applications in areas like consumer marketing, identification technologies, predicting stock markets, and machine translation.
- While progress has been made in areas like recognition and learning, challenges remain in full natural language understanding, human-level planning and decision making. AI is being applied across many industries but remains an active area of research.

Sicherung des Zugangs zu audiovisuellen Quellen. Die Datenbank Memobase+
Der Onlinezugang zu audiovisuellen Quellen ist nicht nur ein schweizerisches, sondern ein internationales Problem, wie etwa der minime Anteil audiovisueller Dokumente in Europeana zeigt. Die Gründe dafür führen uns direkt zur Konzeption von Memobase+. Wie kann ein Onlineangebot im audiovisuellen Bereich heute so gestaltet werden, dass es sich von demjenigen der Radio- und Fernsehanstalten, aber auch von Youtube unterscheidet. Welches sind die Qualitätskriterien für die Auswahl der Inhalte und welche Leistungen muss das Angebot erbringen, damit es auch genutzt wird. Schliesslich wird auch ein Blick auf die Rechtssituation in der Schweiz und die wichtigsten audiovisuellen Bestände und ihre potentielle Zugänglichkeit geworfen.

Les enjeux de l’information scientifique. Le point de vue de la CRUS
Un accès sans encombre et généralisé des hautes écoles suisses aux informations scientifiques disponibles à l’échelle internationale représente un enjeux majeur pour la compétitivité de la place scientifique suisse. Grâce à un réseau de bibliothèques universitaires qui fonctionne bien, la Suisse se trouve actuellement dans une position plutôt confortable en comparaison internationale. Mais le déplacement rapide de l’acquisition, du traitement, de l’échange, de l’archivage et de la diffusion de l’information de la forme papier vers les médias électroniques (internet) et vers des plateformes de données toujours plus importantes qui s’établissent en dehors du domaine de compétence traditionnel des bibliothèques représente un changement de paradigme qui concerne l’ensemble des chercheurs, des enseignants et des étudiants. Les conséquences de ce changement de paradigme sur le travail scientifique ainsi que les efforts de monopolisation des entreprises qui fournissent des informations scientifiques rendent nécessaire une mise en réseau plus étroite des hautes écoles suisses. Pour répondre aux défis qui en découlent, la CRUS prépare, sur mandat de la CUS, un Programme CUS 2013-2016 sur l'accès, le traitement et la sauvegarde de l'information scientifique. La présentation donnera un aperçu de l'état des réflexions au sein de la CRUS.

Historische Forschung und digitale Erschliessung von regionalen Quellen in der Schweiz und vergleichbaren Ländern
Die Bestände von Bibliotheken und Archiven werden zunehmend digitalisiert und online verfügbar gemacht. Digitalisierte Bücher, Zeitungen, Karten und Fotografien stehen in regionalen Portalen wie Digibern für Forschende und weitere Interessierte bereit. Die Portale bieten schnellen Zugang zu regionalen Quellen. Onlinedatenbanken und -lexika ergänzen dieses Angebot. Die Schweiz hinkt bei diesen Bemühungen hinter anderen europäischen Ländern her.

ISIDORE : plateforme d’accès unifié aux données de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales
ISIDORE est un plate-forme informatique d'accès unifié, de valorisation et d'enrichissement des données numériques de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales. Créé et animée par le très grand équipement ADONIS du Centre national de la recherche scientifique (Paris, France), ISIDORE est accessible à tous depuis décembre 2010 sur le site web http://rechercheisidore.fr. Ce nouvel outil s'appuie sur des principales méthodes d'interopérabilité des données en vigueur depuis plus de 10 ans tout en ouvrant sur les méthodes du web de données, aussi nommé web 3.0, actuellement en plein développement (RDF, etc.).
ISIDORE collecte les métadonnées et les données, les enrichies en les reliant aux termes issus de référentiels scientifiques (thesaurus, vocabulaires, etc.), les places dans le web de données et les rend accessibles au travers d'un triple accès (moteur de recherche sur le web, api et "sparql endpoint" pour pour construire des applications d'aide à la recherche). ISIDORE est le plus gros projet d'open data scientifique opérationnel en France.
L'intervention proposée permettra de découvrir la rapidement la plate-forme et ces spécificités, d'en comprendre le fonctionnement et d'en présenter les premiers retours.

Formation of a discipline centred on methods: the digital humanities as
keepers of a “methodological commons”. But how is this of the
humanities?!
&"
7. Difficult questions & tentative answers!
• What are we trying to do?"
!
– Simply to be useful to the older disciplines? Become the perfect servant, and so be without a life of our own?"
!
– Found a new discipline on the basis of a methodology which provides cogent explanations of phenomena
that cannot be obtained by any other means? Thus Latour’s moral quandry (in “The Politics of
Explanation”):"
!
• “If the work of explaining something is that of empire-building, should we explain something?.... Do we
want to add yet another discipline and profession to the many that we study?.... Do we lust for power
and recognition?....”!
• This lust is wrong because it distracts. Explanation and its concrete instantiation in
methods are not a desirable goals because they divert us from that which we study.
They become things in themselves, distancing us from that which give them meaning.
Computational methodology is a house built on sand."
!
• Again Latour: replace methodology by style (by playing a role rather than following a
rule).!

• Joseph Weizenbaum: “…the direct societal effects of any
pervasive new technology are as nothing compared to its
much more subtle and ultimately more important side
effects” (“On the Impact of the Computer on Society”,
1972)."
!
• What, for us now, are these?"
!
– Wide & interdisciplinary rather than deep & specialist;!
– Argumentative rather than evidential;!
– Probabilistic rather than determined;!
– Conjecturally scientific – when it suits the research;!
