Art && Code Homemade: Introduction and Claire Hentschker

presented by Claire Hentschker

I’ve been increas­ing­ly inter­est­ed in this idea of media arts and crafts, and think­ing about…honestly what that means. And so I actu­al­ly self­ish­ly have a ques­tion for every­body. The ques­tion is, did you have a book when you were younger that was some­how like a DIY, or arts and crafts, or some sort of instruc­tion­al mak­ing guide for kids that had a last­ing impact on you?

In sci­ence fic­tion they have space­ships and long jour­ney type of stuff, and most of the time peo­ple seem to be by them­selves. So imag­ine hav­ing a lit­tle robot that you can just have on the ship with you and just talk to that, and it’d help you keep sane as you go through years and years of space travel.

All of my sculp­tures are uni­fied by that they’re almost…you know 99.9% just paper, with dif­fer­ent meth­ods of print­ing, and are all hand­made. And I think a lot about scale, and how the small­est thing can take up space.

Really what my work is con­cerned about is the body and tech­nol­o­gy. They’re often thought of as very dif­fer­ent things. Technology is thought of in these sort of rigid forms and devices, and the body is like this organ­ic oth­er type deal. So, I’m real­ly about explor­ing the ten­sion between those things.

One of the most beau­ti­ful things for me about open source is that you don’t need per­mis­sion. This is such an under­es­ti­mat­ed aspect of open source, which is that because there is no price, because there is no license, because there is no ​“con­tact us” but­ton to get a tri­al… You just get the code, you don’t ask per­mis­sion from any­body. You just get going. And I find that extreme­ly powerful.

It turns out when­ev­er humans make a met­ric that tries to prove their superiority—oh, we have lan­guage, or we do agri­cul­ture, we do tool-making—we usu­al­ly end up just find­ing oth­er liv­ing crea­tures actu­al­ly real­ly already do this also. Honeybees wag­gle danc­ing. Leafcutter ants doing agri­cul­ture. Chimps using sticks as tools.

This library is a move­ment that cel­e­brates our his­to­ry, our cul­ture, and that serves our com­mu­ni­ty to learn and grow as soci­ety evolves. And it holds us account­able in the ways we deal with Black people—our move­ments, our bod­ies, and our lives.

I make dolls but then anoth­er dis­ci­pline that I’m inter­est­ed in is pro­gram­ming and cod­ing. And since I work in mul­ti­ples a lot, some­thing I think about is the dif­fer­ence in cre­at­ing some­thing phys­i­cal­ly ver­sus digitally.

At the core of who I am as far as my prac­tice I’ve always iden­ti­fied as an artist and have found that design and cre­ative tech­nol­o­gy are real­ly great vehi­cles for me to use to con­tin­ue expand­ing the pos­si­bil­i­ties of art.

I cre­at­ed this con­cept called beau­ty tech­nol­o­gy. This was actu­al­ly my PhD project. I was using cos­met­ics or beau­ty prod­ucts and embed­ding cir­cuits into them. So our skin, this two meters square of skin that we have, it could be an inter­ac­tive platform.

What Do Community and the Social Landscape Look Like in Space?
presented by Alex MacDonald, Craig Calhoun, Erika Nesvold, Fred Scharmen

Community is always part of a system that we sometimes can or cannot see or recognize. And in Gerard O'Neill's proposals for these islands in space, those communities…were supposed to perform a very specific function in a larger system. They were supposed to be experiments. Read more →

Genevieve Bell Anita Borg Institute Leadership Award 2013 Acceptance Speech
presented by Genevieve Bell

I went about working out why it was that little Aboriginal girls could say they were boss for themselves. And what it meant to be independent and self-determining. But I also realized that to live in an Aboriginal community was to be embedded and nested in a constant set of relationships and responsibilities, and you could be boss for yourself, but only if you were also respectful of your relationships and your responsibilities and your obligations.

The Relevance of Algorithms
presented by Tarleton Gillespie

How would we begin to look at the pro­duc­tion of the algo­rith­mic? Not the pro­duc­tion of algo­rithms, but the pro­duc­tion of the algo­rith­mic as a jus­ti­fi­able, legit­i­mate mech­a­nism for knowl­edge pro­duc­tion. Where is that being estab­lished and how do we exam­ine it? Read more →

Religion and World Politics part 20
presented by Stephen Chan

As we enter May 2017, the city of Mosul, held stubbornly by ISIS forces, has still not fallen. What has become a siege of the city is now a fight almost on a street-by-street basis for the old city. Read more →
