2014 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Susan Estrada

presented by Susan Estrada

There was this idea that the ​“Internet” was only for aca­d­e­mics and gov­ern­ment. But we were hav­ing a lot of com­mer­cial cus­tomers come to us and want to be able to use the Internet for con­vers­ing with their peo­ple at uni­ver­si­ties as well as at oth­er com­pa­nies around the US. So, we worked with a cou­ple of firms, PSI and UUNET, and togeth­er the three of us formed some­thing called the Commercial Internet Exchange. And when we did that that was the first time ever that com­mer­cial traf­fic was able to pass through the Internet.

presented by Erik Huizer

I’ve been active in so-called Internet insti­tu­tions that take care of the run­ning of the Internet since 1987, ​’88, some­thing like that. I was one of the first non-American peo­ple to join the IETF, the Internet Engineering Task Force, the stan­dard­iza­tion orga­ni­za­tion for the Internet. And I’ve worked hard to estab­lish that that became more international…

From Toy to Pro: Principles to Play Well With Others

presented by Patricio Gonzalez Vivo

Today I kind of want to share a path that I went through from tak­ing a per­son­al tool which is…like a per­son­al toy tool to the point that it’s a pro­fes­sion­al tool that I can use in my every­day work for what­ev­er kind of work I do.

presented by Cassie Tarakajian

I want­ed to talk about how I got into cod­ing and art. And how I start­ed work­ing on the p5 edi­tor, since now I’ve been work­ing on it for five years and maybe it seems sort of like if you want to do some­thing like that like…how do you do it? And why is it impor­tant to me?

Digital citizenship

presented by Chris Coleman

I’m gonna try and frame things around the idea of dig­i­tal cit­i­zen­ship. And I used low­er case here because I don’t always love the term ​“cit­i­zen” and it’s been mis­used a lot over time. But I think there’s some­thing here, and I was very much inspired by some of the ear­li­er speak­ers this week and their think­ing about the roles we play and the ways that we work togeth­er to accom­plish these big­ger things.

Livecoding is where two pro­gram­mers, one to cre­ate music and one to cre­ate visu­als, will be on stage or livestream­ing code that will cre­ate music and code that will cre­ate visu­als along­side it. And as you can see on the screen we will also dis­play the code as what it is com­piled to is cre­at­ing the sound of the music. So it cre­ates this one-to-one trans­paren­cy of like, the code that you’re see­ing is exact­ly what you’re experiencing.

A lit­tle bit about Satin. Its archi­tec­ture and com­po­nents are designed to max­i­mize flow and min­i­mize fric­tion. I think while I’m work­ing on things I’m also learn­ing by cod­ing. So I think if you can enjoy that process as much as pos­si­ble you’re gonna real­ly have a lot of fun but also learn as much as possible.

A Network of Sorrows: Small Adversaries and Small Allies
presented by Quinn Norton

In an environment where everybody can pick up everybody's tools, we're all weirdly empowered now. And I mean kind of weird in an almost fey sense like, our powers are weird, they make us weird, and they make our our conflicts weird. It's again that idea that our tools are interacting with our human flaws in really really interesting ways. Read more →

Loving Out Loud in a Time of Hate Speech
presented by Jillian C York

Dangerous speech, as opposed hate speech, is defined basically as speech that seeks to incite violence against people. And that's the kind of speech that I'm really concerned about right now. That's what we're seeing on the rise in the United States, in Europe, and elsewhere. Read more →

The Things of the Internet
presented by An Xiao Mina

The Internet meme framework is a useful way to understand a certain range of object production, a certain sort of informal production that combines networked modes of production similar to shanzhai or the hat printing, with the global reach of the Internet and global shipping services as well. The ability to move bits and atoms with just as much ease and efficiency. Read more →
