Digital ethnography

Digital ethnographic research is simply the logical evolution of ethnography. It opens up even more opportunities and enables researchers to understand participants behaviour in more ways than ever before. Using the smartphones and tasks such as video diaries and photo uploads.. The researchers can access in-depth insights more easily. As a result, they can capture and assess behaviour and reactions as they happen, delivering true to life data quicker and easier than ever before.

Discuss about black feminism

We had a lecture with Clareese Hill. Clareese Hill is an artist based in Brooklyn. Her work engages with her concern for the word identity and its relationship to space. By attempting to remove language from the social meanings for spaces, she hopes to create conceptual spaces that challenge what identity means and how it operates by exploring the many possibilities available to unhinge it from its social trappings. Through her experimental investigations, the use of technology becomes a vital part of the project as she seeks to create new dialogs between disparate materials. Her practice is rooted in the recorded image, still and time-based. She is currently working with the illusion of agency as a component of identity by creating interactive installations. Her work exists in many mediums including experimental video and poetry. It was a nice oppotunity to think about black feminism. It was happy to hear the talk from her. The point of view is really new and her artworks is interesting. In my country -Japan, it's not common to use the essence of politics or social issues in your art, I mean it's not forbidden to express however it is difficult to show the artwork in the exhibitions. I hope it will be more freedom to say your opinion and then it will be a power to change the world like western countries.

Data Breaches & Hacks in our daily life.

Our information is stolen by SNS, GPS, free wifi, website..... on a daily basis. They capture the data in many ways from many sources. Some processes are highly technical in nature, while others are more deductive (although these methods often employ sophisticated software.)

One example is location-based advertising, which utilizes an internet-connected device's IP address (and the other devices it interacts with) to build a personalized data profile. This information is then used to target users' devices with hyper-personalized, relevant advertising.

In addition to collecting data, companies can also purchase it from or sell it to third-party sources. Once captured, this information is regularly changing hands in a data marketplace of its own.

For instance, it is common that there is a free wifi service in the supermarket. The customers log in to the branded WIFI in the store, using a social media account or email address. We feel comfortable with free internet access, a simple login process, personalized offers. However, the store acquires customer data for effective and targeted marketing to you and third-party. We must feel a sense of danger in information leaks that approach us in dairy life.

An AI masterpiece on canvas : Obvious Art's portrait fetches $432,500!

A portrait created by artificial intelligence fetched $432,500 at Christie’s in New York on Thursday, the first time a computer-generated artwork was offered by a major auction house. The print on canvas, titled “Edmond de Belamy, from La Famille de Belamy,” depicts a blurry and unfinished image of a man. Displayed in a gilded wooden frame, it was estimated to fetch $7,000 to $10,000 and offered as the final lot at Christie’s auction of prints and multiples.

The work was the brainchild of Obvious Art, a Paris-based collective, with help from an algorithm known as GAN (Generative Adversarial Network).

“We fed the system with a data set of 15,000 portraits painted between the 14th century to the 20th,” collective member Hugo Caselles-Dupre told Christie’s. The piece sparked a bidding war among five parties that lasted about seven minutes, with an anonymous phone buyer prevailing, said Christie’s spokeswoman Jennifer Cuminale.

Machine Learning Today

There was a talk about Unerasable Characters in Machine Learning by Winnie Soon at Goldsmiths. It is a very interesting project called "UnerasableCharacters”, which utilizes a character-based machine learning algorithm to take input from the censored text of Weibo as the source and output generative text to think through questions related to erasure, authorship, poetic text and cultural implications of technology. 

Also, it was fascinating that her point of view about the origin of Chinese characters. As raised in the Japanese educational system, I remember that we learned the origin of Kanji (similar to Chinese characters)  in primary school.

It made me think of a project about the AR app for learning Chinese letters.

There are the language learning App calls “Drops”. In this app, there is a small game using the effective function of AR. The learner could catch the bubble (written some remembered word’s illustration on it )  and then you guess the vocabulary. After the talk, I considered that the AR game can be the learning application. Something like the player uses the video recording feature and then the Chinese letters come up on the screen. Also, the Chinese characters depend on the objects the player film the view.

'Teamlab Exhibition: Walk Through the Crystal Universe'

   Artist collective teamLab was founded in 2001 in Tokyo, Japan, and its members include artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, architects, designers, and editors. Its work, therefore, has always been of a sophisticated artistic and cutting-edge technology. They have already installed this artwork “Crystal Universe” all over the world. And it is fascinating that It is turning the building into an atmospheric interactive space, using 60,000 LEDs in a 3-D form.

   “Crystal Universe” utilizes teamLab’s Interactive 4-D Vision technology, which allows users to control the LEDs to give the illusion of light movement — in this case to look like stars in space. By accessing the exhibition website on smartphones, you can swipe the screen to add stars and feel as if you’re standing at the center of the universe.
