Labor, Architecture and the Green New Deal

presented by Peggy Deamer

The main thing that we need to be doing is work­ing as a dis­ci­pline, as a pro­fes­sion, as a uni­fied voice, so that we sit at the table of pol­i­cy­mak­ing and are believed as not just ambulance-chasers for work for our­selves but as peo­ple with knowl­edge and what­ev­er embed­ded­ness in the com­mu­ni­ty, and our design exper­tise with­in the com­mu­ni­ty is absolute­ly essential.

Environmental Aesthetics and Everyday Life

presented by Yuriko Saito

It is com­mon­ly rec­og­nized that artis­tic strate­gies are effec­tive in pro­mot­ing social, polit­i­cal, and reli­gious agen­das. What is less rec­og­nized is that many deci­sions and actions we make in our dai­ly life are also guid­ed by aes­thet­ic pref­er­ences and judg­ments. In the United States today unfor­tu­nate­ly, the pop­u­lar aes­thet­ic taste seems to work against the ideals of sus­tain­abil­i­ty and jus­tice pro­posed by the Green New Deal.

An Innovation Policy for the Green New Deal

presented by Dan Traficonte, Ian Wells

By inno­va­tion pol­i­cy what we’re real­ly talk­ing about is fed­er­al R&D pro­grams. So despite the American econ­o­my’s rep­u­ta­tion for being this quin­tes­sen­tial free mar­ket sys­tem, much of the inno­va­tion and tech­no­log­i­cal devel­op­ment in the American econ­o­my can be linked to direct gov­ern­ment intervention.

Design and the Green New Deal

presented by Billy Fleming

I think that Damian asked me here in large part to talk about this essay from last spring in Places Journal that begins pret­ty timid­ly with this line, I don’t know when the myth of design­ers as cli­mate sav­iors began, but I know that it’s time to kill it. Which as you can imag­ine got me invit­ed to lots of din­ner par­ties at Harvard. 

After Comfort

presented by Daniel A. Barber

Comfort, like cap­i­tal, is uneven­ly distributed—not every­one gets to have the same amount. When you have it, it’s hard to let go. It’s even hard­er to con­vince some­one to give it up—and I think this is a major chal­lenge we’re fac­ing. Comfort feels nor­mal, expect­ed, obvious—deserved.

Climate Futures II Introductions

presented by Damian White, Jonathan Highfield

There’s much intel­lec­tu­al, cul­tur­al, and cre­ative work to do. But it’s real­ly impor­tant as well that we leave room for debate, dis­cus­sion, pro­duc­tive cri­tique, etc. So this event is not about the final moment. It’s not going to resolve nice­ly flu­id dis­ci­pli­nary dis­cus­sions. But it is going to be a kind of jam­boree of kind of con­flict­ing, inter­est­ing, diverse per­spec­tives on post-carbon futures and so on. 

The Breakdown: Brian Scully on Government Response to Disinformation

presented by Brian Scully, Oumou Ly

We’re focused on what we call coun­ter­ing for­eign influ­ence but real­ly what we’re try­ing to do is build nation­al resilience to for­eign influ­ence activ­i­ties. And so for us a lot of what we do is pub­lic edu­ca­tion and pub­lic aware­ness out­reach to dif­fer­ent com­mu­ni­ties, pro­vide resources that folks can use to bet­ter under­stand both the risk and then ways to mit­i­gate the risk.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Bert Wijnen

presented by Bert Wijnen

I got involved in a work­ing group called SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). And I got very much involved, imple­ment­ed all the ver­sions that actu­al­ly were ever thought of, even those that were not published.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Dave Farber

presented by Dave Farber

In some sense my aca­d­e­m­ic chil­dren became some of the fathers of the Internet. It’s why some peo­ple mum­ble that I’m the grand­fa­ther of the Internet. 

The Ideas of John Perry Barlow in Uncertain Times

presented by Charles Nesson, Jonathan Vincent Pace, Mutale Nkonde

If you’re look­ing to the ques­tion how can the whole thing be reg­u­lat­ed, how can one get con­trol of this whole envi­ron­ment, so as to cre­ate a world in which those orig­i­nal free­doms that Barlow was talk­ing about are shared by every­one, the answer is you can’t do it.

Challenging the Audience to Work in Anti-Disciplinary Spaces
presented by James Patten

I came into doing work in an antidisciplinary space more or less by accident. Back when I was applying to university, the schools would send out these books talking about the different programs they offered and what each program was like. And for some reason I never read any of those books. I just applied to engineering school because I thought, "Oh, you know I like to make things, and engineering school's where you make things."

The Web is Agreement
presented by Jeremy Keith

Web standards are a collection of intangibles that we collectively agree to be true. They're our stories. They're our collective, consensus reality. They're what web browsers agree to implement and what we agreed to use. The Web is agreement. Read more →

Spring 2021 #OSSTA Lecture: Cassie Tarakajian
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? Read more →
