NEW OR OLD, ARE YOU HARNESSING
THE POWER OF THE MEDIUM

The document discusses the shift from designing objects based primarily on their function to designing them to communicate and develop relationships with users. It notes that children now expect all objects to have some means of communication, even if they have no obvious controls or interfaces. Interaction design focuses on an object's behavior and how people interact with and relate to it over time. Designers determine how objects initially communicate but users can then improvise and develop ongoing dialogues.

High Tech meets Human Touch

John Ryan

Opening keynote at the 2017 Museums & Galleries of Australia Conference, Brisbane: ”New landscapes are emerging that blend technology, architecture, and the people that inhabit them in increasingly complex ways. How can such museum experiences be designed to foster meaningful human connections and interactions? This question is central to the work produced by Local Projects, an experience design firm, based in New York, USA. The studio has won multiple awards for groundbreaking projects that integrate architecture and digital media, including the 9/11 Memorial Museum, the Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, and Gallery One at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Their work has enabled visitors to browse an art museum’s collection with facial expressions, monitored brain activity as visitors explore a science museum, and turned visitors into designers with an interactive pen. To create captivating innovative environments that remain sensitive to the human scale, Local Projects leverages emotional storytelling, visitor participation, and shared social interactions. Their interdisciplinary team of architects, designers and technologists design experiences that encourage visitors to fully engage with body, heart, and mind. John Ryan, Creative Director and Director of Interaction Design at Local Projects, will share the studio’s groundbreaking projects and investigate the design principles that have informed them, examining how such experiences can be both innovative and meaningful.”

Soft machines and the design of perception

Steen Christiansen

The document discusses how technology shapes human perception and social interaction. It argues that social interaction now requires technological connections as we extend our bodies into devices to stay connected to networks. This weaving of technology into everyday life results in humans occupying multiple layers of space rather than a single physical space. As technology and nature hybridize, the divide between the natural and artificial is blurring as humans increasingly take on mutant forms.

Into the wild: Connect with teens where they live

Andrew Robinson

Adolescents live in the wild; a place that is set apart from the rest of the world. It is this unpredictable, often inhospitable land we must enter and explore if we are to make a positive difference in the lives of adolescents. Practice C.P.R. to join with teens: 1. CRYSTALLIZE your message — Sharpen your focus to the essentials 2. PERSONALIZE your teaching methods — Increase relevance and meaning for teens as they take ownership 3. RELATIONALIZE your approach and build trust with students — See teens connect with your message as they connect with the messenger….

Annika Lidne

The document discusses the emerging digital divide between "prosumers" who actively engage with and contribute digital content, and passive consumers. It notes that younger people only want to interact with valuable, meaningful content and will avoid wasting time. The document then examines changing media habits of the next generation, including sharing content across multi-channel distribution and moving away from traditional newspapers and television to platforms driven by aggregation, curation and sharing of content.

From Baby Boomers to Generation Z: Interactivity in Light of Generations

Anne Boysen

This document discusses generational trends and defines several generations including Millennials, Generation Z, and the generation after Generation Z. It outlines some of the defining events and characteristics of each generation, such as their relationship to technology, parenting styles, trust in institutions, and how they are shaped by events like the rise of social media. The document also explores how each new generation favors more participatory and networked behaviors compared to prior generations.

Sifting our way to generational insights

Anne Boysen

The document discusses Egyptian youth in urban and virtual spaces based on the author's fieldwork from 1998-2002, 2005, and 2010. It describes how youth is both a life stage and cultural construction. It also discusses "cosmopolitan" young, educated Egyptians who are underemployed and use cyber spaces. New youth movements in Egypt are independent, flexible, and leaderless, drawing on social media. Virtual spaces allow for overcoming isolation, creativity, and trying out identities. Urban spaces also foster creativity.

Introduction to February 25, 2011 Web Forum

Tom Tresser

This online discussion will be moderated by Tom Tresser, an instructor teaching a class on using theater and technology for social change. Viewers can ask questions on Twitter. Guests include Daniel X. O'Neil, co-founder of the hyper-local news site Everyblock, who is an expert in civic engagement platforms; Professor Khaled Keshk of DePaul University; and Tarek Amr, an Egyptian blogger and programmer who documents activism through photography and social media.

CYBERBULLYING

Deborrah Escobar

Week2 socialmediatechnologyandsocietalchange-rev1-20

Ray Brannon

The document discusses social media and its various forms and uses. It defines social media as online tools that allow people to publish, communicate and share content, including blogs, wikis, photos and social networking sites. Social networking sites allow users to create profiles and connect with others. The document also discusses how social media enables discussion, feedback and sharing of information among interested parties. It notes social media is linked to other sites, resources and people.

EDUC370 SU12 1.1 Introduction Lecture

Jason Neiffer

This document discusses how Thomas Jefferson, Osama Bin Laden, and the Roman Forum can inform the changing classroom landscape. It references the internet providing access to information and democracy. It compares the impact of mobile access between 2001 and 2011. It argues new technologies give more real-time data access and ways for experts and students to share information. The document cautions that while access has increased, the core mission of education remains.

States of Artificial Disasters: the path to Crisis

Stefano Diana

The document discusses the limitations of human knowledge and the flaws in the Western model of knowledge generation. It argues that most of what is called knowledge is based on limited human perceptions and is unable to account for the complexity of the natural world. It claims the Western model introduces more errors at each step, obscures details, and leads to outcomes that cannot be accurately predicted. This model prioritizes abstract concepts, mathematics, and quantifiable metrics over more qualitative ways of understanding, and has driven society toward unsustainable priorities of endless growth and consumption. The current crisis is presented as an example of the breakdown caused by distortions and complexities that have accumulated despite our limited understanding.

Reading on a Holodeck

Peter Brantley

Info society and the spectacle

Springwood High School Media

The document discusses how the introduction of "feeds" on Facebook, which display a running list of a user's activities and updates on their profile, has significant implications for how people view and curate their online identity on social networks. It notes that this makes Facebook less of a temporary representation of identity and more of a permanent archive, forcing users to reconsider how publicly and casually they share information. It may lead users to be more cautious about what traces of their identity they leave online and how openly they explore different identities and connections on social platforms.

VINT Symposium 2012: Recorded Future | Luciano Floridi

VINTlabs | The Sogeti Trendlab

This document outlines Luciano Floridi's ideas about big data and the challenges it presents. It discusses three main ideas: hyperhistory and how data has been collected since ancient Sumer; the infosphere and how technology has expanded our data environment; and how data collection represents a fourth revolution in human understanding. It then addresses the rise of big data in terms of power, cost, and what it can do. Challenges of big data are also outlined, as well as the problem that small patterns in data may be individually insignificant but meaningful when aggregated or absent. The conclusion stresses the importance of asking and answering questions about data.

PROFESSOR PHILLIP BALDWIN

Mcluhan Life Summary

Sharon Lee

Nicholas Carr argues that Google and constant internet use may be negatively impacting our ability to focus and think deeply. He notes that the internet provides immense access to information but that our consumption of online data may be hindering concentration. Carr also suggests that hyperlinks on the internet encourage quick jumps between topics rather than sustained, thoughtful reading. While technology has increased information availability, Carr poses the question of whether this is eroding our capacity for reflection and complex cognition.

Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open

Bonnie Stewart

He who has done evil, expects evil.

Rhea Myers

This document contains a collection of short quotes and passages on various topics related to technology, media, information, and networking. Some of the quotes discuss the internet revolution, permission for content sharing, understanding context in conversations, and acquiring the right technology. Other passages consider music and new tools, collective existence and data, and cross-media experiences on the internet. The document concludes by mentioning meshing cross-media eyeballs and virtual applications.

The document discusses utopian and dystopian visions of technology and provides examples of narratives around different technologies throughout history. Utopian narratives see technology as able to better lives by increasing order and solving problems, while dystopian narratives view technology as facilitating a harsh social order where people have less freedom. The document also notes that technologies are socially constructed and do not determine society but rather reflect existing social and political factors.

Lim Jus394 Utopian Dystopian

merlyna

The document discusses utopian and dystopian visions of technology. It defines utopias as ideal societies where technology improves lives, while dystopias depict societies where technology enables harsh and oppressive control. The document outlines common narratives in both utopian and dystopian perspectives, such as utopias viewing technology as something that can be mastered to solve problems, while dystopias see technology facilitating authoritarian control that stifles freedom. Examples are provided of past emerging technologies like radio, television and video that were often initially greeted with utopian visions of empowerment and connection, but could enable dystopian outcomes like surveillance. The document concludes that technology is socially constructed rather than determining society, and reflects political and social factors.

Metaphors of Presence: An Experiential Design Framewok for VR & AR

Kent Bye

We learn through metaphors. They form the architecture in our brains that allow us to understand reality. I've distilled down the metaphors that I use to understand presence in VR & AR, but these are universal metaphors describing the human experience in all realities. It's an experiential design framework that hopefully can be applied in & out of VR. It's the most clear & practical distillation of my work I've done so far, and it was presented as a keynote in Montreal on May 31st at Symposium iX. Next talk is about the Philosophical Foundations of Experiential Design that I'm currently editing. Here's the video of my keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7OYoP_NfJ0

Jill Walker Rettberg

This document discusses how technology allows us to see and represent ourselves in new ways through selfies, blogs, and wearable devices that track our daily activities. It addresses three main modes of self-representation - textual through diaries and blogs, visual through selfies, and quantitative data about ourselves collected through sensors. While technology provides new opportunities, it also filters our self-representation in ways we may not realize or be able to control. It raises issues about how quantified data about our lives could be used and whether constant self-monitoring risks normalizing surveillance of ourselves and others.

Antispectacleandclassroom of the future.b.

PROFESSOR PHILLIP BALDWIN

Prof. Phillip Baldwin proposes a new model for the classroom of the future called "anti-spectacle". It would use multiple screens, sound, and potentially other sensory inputs like smell or vibration to immerse students in lessons. The professor would guide students through curated information rather than direct lectures. This model aims to engage students accustomed to constant media stimulation while still facilitating cognitive development and discourse. Prof. Baldwin argues this type of consolidated multimedia experience could better impart knowledge to students than solely individualized online learning.

Design Fiction: A short slideshow on design, science, fact and fiction

Julian 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. A larger discussion of this slidshow overview is available here: http://cli.gs/DesignFictionEssay

Smart Cities Need Smart Museums

Robert J. Stein

Global Cities are growing at an amazing place and are changing the ways in which we live, work, play, and relate to each other. The term Smart Cities describes a movement to apply new technological developments towards the development of these cities, but does doing so create a city that we actually want to live in? This presentation will address the role of culture and artists in creating a dynamic "place" and the role that Museums might play in promoting a cultural dialog within their local communities
