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.
Language is Infrastructure for InteractConf London 2014Andrew Hinton
I had the pleasure of speaking at Interact London in October 2014. I presented an updated version of this talk, which I originally gave at IA Summit earlier in the spring. The talk is based on content from my book, Understanding Context. You can read more about it at http://contextbook.com.
In this version, I have updated the way I'm talking about how language works as environment: instead of 'semantic affordance' I'm now calling it 'semantic function.' (Which is in keeping with how it's now being described in the book.)

Internet of things and the metamorphosis of objects - rick bouter , gérald ...Rick Bouter
Where in prior times technique was referring to: “a method of accomplishing a desired aim”,
today we speak more of technology. Technology has long been presented as a set of
techniques; today it has become more than a method to accomplish a desired aim. From now
on, we live in ‘the age of makers’. In times when there are more people with mobile phone
access than toothbrushes, everyone has the ability to start up a million euro business from
behind the kitchen table.
Technology does not only affect business any longer; it also affects culture, politics, society
and every element we value in life. Maybe most important of all, it affects the human race as
we know it today. For the reason technology will impact the way we have lived for ages, it is
legitimate to ask whether there is an intersection where humans and objects will find a
mutually beneficial coexistence, or whether one of these entities will rule over the other, or
whether there will be an alliance between the human race and some sort of technology that
represents a global connected world brain.
Will technology be, like in prior times, a collection of methods to accomplishing a desired
aim, or will the human race be enslaved by technology and ruled by the artificial intelligence
embedded in it?

Il territorio si trasforma in un info-scape, una nuova geografia composta dalla realtà fisica, dai dati e dalle informazioni, dalle espressioni delle persone, e dalle relazioni che si instaurano tra persone, luoghi, oggetti e situazioni.
Cosa è e come è fatto un museo ubiquo?
Un museo diffuso sul territorio, in cui dati, informazioni, espressioni, emozioni, saperi ed esperienze si ricombinano fluidamente per rendere leggibile una nuova mappa: relazionale, informazionale, comunicazionale, performativa.
The Incautious Porn presentation held at SSN2014 in Barcelona.
From the Abstract:
"We have radically changed our perception of what is public and what is private.
While using social networks, search engines and websites determining who has access to our information, our personal details, our habits and preferences is often complex or not easily accessible.
Each person's information is sold hundreds of times each day, while surfing websites and social media sites, with information passing from one provider to the other in ways that are subtle and non-transparent: data collected on one site may be used on other sited to sell us advertisements or to investigate on our lives.
On top of that, most people tend to interpret social media sites as new forms of public spaces, and it is fundamental for service providers' strategies that this perception is maintained, to promote our full disclosure, allowing them to collect even more data about ourselves.
We used the project Incautious Porn to investigate on this scenario, to explore the shifting and blurring of the boundaries of what we perceive as our privacy and as our private and public spaces.
Incautious Porn uses the operations of a fake company systematically invading our privacy (even to the point of performing simulated forms of blackmail) to collect enormous amounts of information which we have used to analyze this scenario.
In Incautious Porn art acts both as a sensor on the transformation of human societies and as a tool for analyzing its effects.
The effects of the Incautious Porn project and communication campaign have been massive, bringing it to the attention of a large, global, audience and, thus, allowing the research team to benefit from a large data set.
Furthermore, the actions of the blackmailing fake-company have been led using an ethical approach: no money was taken from people, and all their personal data has been preserved, also using the initiative as a testing lab for novel privacy and security preservation techniques, and as a campaign for awareness about the transformation of people's perception of contemporary private/public spaces."

EC(m1) the Cultural Ecosystem of Rome, at Cultur+
the cultural ecosystem of the city of Rome, usable by administrations, operators and citizens to explore the relations established through cultural activities in the city.
It has been presented at Porta Futuro, in Rome, during the Cultur+ event with the first municipality of the city of Rome.
What is the topography of the Innovation Ecosystem in Italy? Who are its main influencers? Who are the hubs? How does information circulate inside it? What are its influences from abroad?
How can we map the Innovation Ecosystem in real-time, using social networks?
AOS will be at the Internet Festival 2013 in Pisa to present the Italian Real-time Ecosystem of Innovation.
The project is part of the Human Ecosystems Project, for which we presented the Cultural Ecosystem of the City of Rome just a few days ago.
The Innovation Ecosystem captures from social networks the real-time data about how people discuss the various topics and modalities of Innovation, and uses Natural Language Analysis, Geo-coding, Network Analysis and Machine Learning techniques and technologies to infer the times, places and relations of Innovation.
These are the slides from the workshop we held at the Internet Festival.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

8. creepy VS positive
everything started for us when we realised that some of the
research and artworks we were making were at the same time
creepy and extremely positive.
they could bring to wonderful opportunities for communities and
individuals, but they could also lead to radical surveillance and
broken rights and freedoms, depending on how they were used
all by redefining our public/private/intimate spheres
20. each box contained a QR code
that would connect you to the
user’s emotions, as expressed on

27. Human Ecosystems
http://human-ecosystems.com/home/
capture the real-time digital life of the city, turn it into a
source of Open Data, make a museum out of it, so that you
can experience the Relational Ecosystem of the city, build an
education process in which everyone learns how to use this
data for research, art, design, civic action, participatory
public administration, citizen self-organisation, and more
30. Culture in the city of Rome, as seen from social networks
31. the TechCrunch event in Rome,
as seen from social networks,
over the MAXXI Museum
32.
33. the relational ecosystem of innovators in Italy, as they
express on social networks.
Note: it is really not resilient. Everyone has relations
with a few really large operators (at the center of the
relational supernova), but there are not many peer-to-
peer relations going on
34.
35. how can we use this approach in rural areas, or where people
don’t use social networks a lot?
at XYLab we have created a Rural Human Ecosystem, and we
invented P2P Ethnography!
http://www.artisopensource.net/network/artisopensource/2014/07/30/communication-knowledge-and-information-in-the-human-ecosystem-p2p-ethnography/
36.
37. the Atlas of Rome is a museum exhibit in which citizens can
express their wishes and projects for their city, using social
networks and mobile phones
it is the Participatory Atlas of the Visions in the city
40. the Real-time museum of the city in Sao Paulo
people can see the relational ecosystem of the city, and learn how to use it
(for example, it is currently being used to study the water crisis in Sao Paulo)
41.
42. Real Time Cairo
has captured the revolts happening in the city during
the Arab Spring, as they manifested themselves on
social networks.
The data can be freely used for research, art, citizen’s
self organisation, journalism, and more
43. some of the people in the Arab Spring, in Cairo, using social networks
(there are currently about 300 times as many, in the database)
46. a compass shows in which direction
emotions have been expressed around

it is a novel way of navigating the city
by using a simple interface, one can
combine emotions, topics and

50. One Million Dreams is a database of human dreams, as they are
expressed on social networks.
How do people dreams change, over time, geographies and
communities, with the crisis, wars, news, happenings, contexts

51. Stakhanov
a BigData God, harvests information from social networks
about millions of people, searches for patterns in the data,
uses the patterns to make predictions about people’s
interests, emotions, locations, times, and activities.
it is the Oracle of the age of BigData
58. we live in our Socialis Continuus, in which we are
ourselves, with our identities, relations, emotions.
we are influenced by Stacks, large corporations which
now largely control how we access the Internet, and
which also define large parts of the ways in which we
relate, are fulfilled, gain access to knowledge, etc.
the Stacks use our actions to understand who we are,
creating profiles which represent us, in the Stack
Veritas.
Algorithms process our profiles and their relations to
create other information about us, a description of
reality, in the Res Algoritmica
Stakhanov grabs all of this and searches for patterns
within it, to make predictions, which might influence us.
59. in our daily lives we are Hacceitas, our selves, with our
relations, identities, emotions, actions, thoughts, etc.
In the transition to our digital lives, some of this
information is transformed: we become an Imago, a
representation of ourselves
Stacks create this Imago, the representation of
ourselves in the digital domain. Thus, they are the
Artifex (the artists, creating the representation of life)
Stakhanov captures the Imago of people, and searches
for patterns in them, across time, locations, emotions
and activities. When it finds patterns, it organizes them
into a Forma.
The Forma are used to create predictions, the
Prophetia, which we come to know, and influence us.
60. Our Imago is represented in the Cloud, which is only
truly accessible by the Stacks and a limited number of
other, interrelated, subjects and entities, in the Caelum
Internum.
Through the APIs other entities, among which is
Stahanov, are able to access the Imago of people, with
many limitations and incompletenesses.
This is the Caelum Externum, in which the Imago is
partially available, as the Stacks keep most part of them
for themselves.
61. In all of this Omnia Sunt Adventores, “everyone is
a customer”.
Every person and entity is a customer for the
Stacks, with different levels of engagement.
The Hospes, are the people who dedicate
attention (Adtentio). Anyone who, for any reason,
dedicates time and attention, is already a
customer.
The Benevolens are the ones who share
information (Informatio), such as their email,
behaviour, actions.
The Cliens actually spend money ($).
The Stacks are obsessed with Clients (Clientibus
Obsesses)
63. What I propose in the following is a reconsideration of the
human condition from the vantage point of our newest
experiences and most recent fears. This, obviously, is a matter of
thought, and thoughtlessness—the heedless recklessness or
hopeless confusion or complacent repetition of ‘truths’ which
have become trivial and empty—seems to me among the
outstanding characteristics of our time. What I propose,
therefore, is very simple: it is nothing more than to think what
we are doing.
Hannah Arendt , Prologue of “The Human Condition”, 1958.
66. The digital transition shakes established
reference frameworks in, at least, four ways:
• blurring the distinction between reality and virtuality;
• by blurring the distinctions between human, machine and nature;
• by reversing from scarcity to abundance, when it comes to
information;
• by shifting from the primacy of entities over interactions to the
primacy of interactions over entities.
76. “the smarter one’s
things, the greater the
possibility that they’ll
be conscripted into
schemes you never
would have imagined
and might not like.”

79. The Internet of Someone else’s Things

Stacks!
http://techcrunch.com/2014/10/11/the-internet-of-someone-elses-things/
So, are we doomed to a future of fifth column Smart Things
that we don’t really own, talking behind our backs to an
array of soloed Stacks?

They don’t want much, those
Stacks. Just your identity, your
allegiance, and all of your
data. Just to be your sole
provider of messaging, media,
merchandise, and metadata.
Just to take part in as much of
your online existence as they
possibly can, and maybe to
one day mediate your every
interaction with the world
around you, online or off.
88. Facebook says that it conducts not one but “over a
thousand experiments each day,” and a former Facebook
data scientist recently revealed that “experiments are run on
every user at some point.”
A 2012 study in Nature showed that a single tweak
modifying an “I voted” button on Facebook increased
turnout in the 2010 congressional elections by about
340,000 votes. That is enormous power.
89. The Basics from profile information: * Age, country, region, city; *Family background, family names; *Education; *
Religion; * Occupation; * Hobbies; * Books, papers, magazines read; * Music preferences; * TV program preferences; *
Political opinions; * Online spending; * Brand and product interests; * Languages you understand; * Sexual preferences; *
Travel and holidays;
Aggregated social data: * Your status; * Knowledge and skills. * Home and car class; * Estimated income and wealth; *
Social position and that of friends; * Living and family situation; * Use of PC, gadgets, software etc.; * When you are at home;
* Places where you are out; * What times you are online and with what intentions; * Good and bad days; * When you’re horny.
Also to consider: * Pace of life; * Diseases and disorders; * Concentration cycle throughout the day; * Whether you are
persistent or give up quickly; * Work behavior and effort; * Private browsing during work hours; * Preferences between text,
photo and video; * Proceedings of contact; * Intensity of contact; * Attention to different relationships / friends; * Frequency
and likelihood of new relationships; * Approach to individuals and businesses; * Choice of words and attitude; * Secret
desires and fantasies; * Creativity; * Logical thinking; * Non-conscious and irrational behaviors; * Rational choices and
weight given to these; * Emotions in experiences and exposures; * Behavior in different emotions; * Degree of happiness.
96. At a keynote presentation at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in
February 2014, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook's
acquisition of WhatsApp was closely related to the Internet.org vision.
97. "for a group of people (about 0.04% of
users, or 1 in 2500) for a short period
(one week, in early 2012). “
"And at the end of the day, the actual
impact on people in the experiment was
the minimal amount to statistically detect
it “
"The goal of all of our research at
Facebook is to learn how to provide a
better service."
99. as the toothbrush’s website proudly announces, it also
“records brushing activity as
data that you can chart on
your own and share with
dental professionals.”
What happens to that data — whether it goes to these dental professionals, or your
insurance company, stays with you or is appended to your data already owned by
Facebook and Google — is a controversial question.
100. The digitisation of everyday life and the
rapaciousness of financialisation risk turning
everything — genome to bedroom — into a
productive asset.
Evgeny Morozov
101. “like the ATM that gives you access to the
wealth locked within your genes”
Esther Dyson
102. one, possible, weird, future:
what happens when the
refusal to “share” becomes
tinged with as much guilt as
the refusal to save or work or
pay debts, with a veneer of
morality covering up — once
again — exploitation
103. 70,000 data points — including how you
type and how you use your phone — already help banks decide whether
online applicants are worthy of a loan.
“all data
is credit data”
104.
105. Well, if all data is credit data,
then all life — captured by
digital sensors in the world
around us — beats to the
rhythms of debt.
Evgeny Morozov
108. seeing all of this data and information as a
Common Resource Pool, and the need for a
High Quality Relational Environment to be able
to organize ourselves into managing it, together
implications? yes, plenty!
reconsidering property, privacy, work, trust… and many more
110. origins
some of the following examples come from here:
https://niepleuen.wordpress.com/2015/01/15/introduction-to-the-commons-and-some-definitions/
112. land that ‘was used by several people or households
during a certain period, in distinction to land that
was used by only one person or household
throughout the whole year’
Tine De Moor
historically originate from
114. COMMON LAND
PUBLIC PROPERTY
ACCESSIBLE TO
THE PUBLIC
PUBLIC PROPERTY PRIVATE PROPERTY
and
VS
(commons disappear… as well as the rights of the commoners and the perception to self-regulate the commons)
115. Hobbes RATIONAL CHOICE
self interest
personal
advantage
collaboration
impossible
Hardin’s “Tragedy of the Commons”
disproved by economist Carlisle Ford Runge, the
historian Susan Jane Buck Cox and by the
interdisciplinary study of Elinor Oström
119. So “the commons” is not about common goods or
products but about the people governing,
controlling, enjoying and employing a resource
system commonly.
It’s about having guarantees for survival and a
sustainable living and protection against free-
riding and exploitation.
https://niepleuen.wordpress.com/2015/01/15/introduction-to-the-commons-and-some-definitions/
121. “Read the first lines of the definition in the
Wikipedia, pick some elements out of this
complex phenomenon, transplant them into a
random new practice and proclaim that the new
commons have arrived.”
https://niepleuen.wordpress.com/2015/01/15/introduction-to-the-commons-and-some-definitions/
123. in historical commons:
access was clearly defined: it was open
people met and lived in the same village
high quality communication
knowledge of the intentions and context of peers
monitoring of activities easy and direct
….
124. necessity to move from “virtual communities” (Rheingold)
to “real communitities”
125. Prerequisites for ICAs as dynamic social system
Identifiability and face to face communication
Clear Definition of and agreement on the goals of collaboration
Feasibility plan and ecological constraints for goals of collaboration
A perceived and controllable fair deal through self governance
Building and sustaining trust in coping with social dilemmas
Unobstructed Access to the Means of Subsistence and/or realisation of the common goals
Scalability
Qualities of ICAs as dynamic social systems
Self governance
Experiential Learning
Community building and community sustaining
Ecological fitness and sustainability

127. changes
(bodies, emotions, locations,
opinions, relations, health…)
data & information are different in quantitative, qualitative, philosophical,political,
biopolitical, social terms, and in terms of rights, freedoms, environment…
129. Commons as a Protocol
is it a good idea?
(for example inspired to Creative Commons)
130. “I used to work in mainstream media and with large corporations. And honestly I felt very stifled, I couldn’t do what I
wanted to do without asking for a lot of permission. What I saw with the internet was that it was a great way for people to
innovate, to think and create without asking permission, without having to wait until they are older. It was an amazingly
open thing. And for me, innovation, whether it’s political innovation or technical innovation or any kind of positive change,
is supported by this idea of the open internet.
We have various layers: very early we had the ethernet, and then we had the Internet protocol TCP/IP, and then we had the
web and now we have Creative Commons, which is very similar because it’s trying to create an open protocol that allows
things to connect without asking permission. Because in the past, you had asked permission to connect a modem to the
Internet. Then you had to ask permission before you set up a site. And now you have to ask permission before you use
somebody’s content. And the idea of Creative Commons is to make a protocol that makes it easy to connect without
asking permission. This makes it impossible for large companies and governments to control the interconnect.
The non-profit things that I do and the for-profit things that I do are very similar because the for-profit companies that I
invest in are trying to innovate in technology and social software by using the Internet. They are typically very small teams
of people who create some product. And I think these small start-ups are creating the technology and the infrastructure
that builds these open networks. And they have the DNA of the open networks. And the non-profits that I work in like
Global Voices, Witness or Mozilla, Creative Commons, they are all non-profits that help try to coordinate all the people who
are involved in trying to create this open Internet.
For me I think that the open internet is not only an important business thing, I think it’s the pillar for an open society in the
21st century.”
– Joi Ito on We Magazine
131. Risk:
addressing only the Common Research Pools
and not also the
High Quality Relational Environment which is needed
for ensuring that the Commons can be managed
meaningfully by and through the community
134. privacy is also an issue
what privacy means can be changed (has changed already, actually)
but in meaningful ways
135. what has been done:
research
Art is Open Source (IT); Human Ecosystems (UK); the Foundation for P2P Alternatives (NL); "La Sapienza" University of Rome (IT); ISIA Design
Florence (IT); "La Statale" University of Milan (IT); Bruno Kessler Foundation (IT); il Sole24Ore (IT); LUISS University (IT); Transmediale Festival
(DE) ; Medialab Prado (ES) ; Google Cultural Institute Paris (FR); University of Edinburgh (UK); the Conference (SE); McGill University (CA); York
University (CA) ; Yale University (USA); Polytechnic University of Miami (USA); Stanford School of Business (USA); Creative Commons (USA);

Metodista (BR); Furtherfeld (UK); University of Seoul (KR); SESC (BR); the city administrations of Rome, Trento, Turin, Sao Paulo, Montreal,
Toronto; Anonymous.
136. what has been done:
technology
some prototypes, dealing with social networks and Internet of Things
objective: make solutions which allow people to decide, individually and as a community, group or
society, through high quality relations, how data/information should be used.
140. implementing this:
a browser plugin using which users easily post encrypted data on social networks,
which can only be accessed through a decryption mechanism which is external to
the social network, on the BlockChain, where the user also specifies who can access
the content, and in which ways (the user decides the license)
141.
142. we “squat”, to all effect, the social
network, which becomes a repository
of encrypted data, on the cloud, and
the access mechanisms are defined
by users and communities,
according to their desires, to trust
relationships, to allow for meaningful
usages, etc.
143. ask us for a beta version!
and/or participate!
in any way you can
currently, we are also building the legal toolkit
which is part of this first instance
you can help out on that, too
144. see you soon!
