Campbell Brown’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Campbell Brown

Two out of three 8th graders in this coun­try can­not read or do math at grade lev­el. We are not prepar­ing our kids for what the future holds.

Anne-Marie Slaughter’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Anne-Marie Slaughter

Asking any author about a book the President should read imme­di­ate­ly makes me think, ​“Mine, of course.” But what I would actu­al­ly say is the next pres­i­dent should be Jamie Merisotis’ America Needs Talent.

The Conversation #38 — Alexa Clay

presented by Aengus Anderson, Alexa Clay, Micah Saul

I think at a fun­da­men­tal lev­el I just believe in human agency. And I think that every­one should feel like they can par­tic­i­pate and shape the econ­o­my, rather than feel like they’re expe­ri­enc­ing symp­toms of the econ­o­my. When the reces­sion hap­pened, there was all this chat­ter around well, the Fed is going to do this. Or the banks are going to do this. And gov­ern­ment is going to do this. And there was no nar­ra­tive around what peo­ple are going to do.

Planetary Initiation

presented by Daniel Pinchbeck

I think that Western mod­ern civ­i­liza­tion end­ed up kind of caught in a trap locked in its egoic struc­ture, and based our whole trip on kind of hyper­indi­vid­u­al­ism, accu­mu­la­tion of resources, and so on. And we’ve now reached a point where we can’t go fur­ther than that.

A Data Manifesto for Generation Open

presented by Hetan Shah

We asked our six thou­sand mem­bers to write to their can­di­dates and say, ​“If you get elect­ed, do you promise to take sta­tis­ti­cal train­ing from the Royal Statistical Society?” 

Why Black Lives Matter

presented by Alicia Garza

Black folks have con­sis­tent­ly been denied the rights to priv­i­lege that come with cit­i­zen­ship that so many of us take for grant­ed. And that’s why so many of us are no longer sat­is­fied with the com­pro­mis­es and nego­ti­a­tions that hap­pen behind the scenes, that con­tin­ue to leave out too many peo­ple whose lives depend on the abil­i­ty to par­tic­i­pate in the deci­sions that impact their lives.

“The Case Against Cynicism,” Hilton Als RISD 2016 Commencement Address

presented by Hilton Als

[We] could hope because we’d seen what it had done for us. We were refugees from the world’s cyn­i­cism because we’d grown up in belief, and knew just as our moth­ers knew, that each act of mak­ing is born out of hope because there, in the rank earth where cyn­i­cism flow­ers, noth­ing grows.

What Will Cybersecurity Look Like in the Next Decade?

presented by Paul Nicholas

Sure, cyber­space is about peo­ple and data. But it is also about appli­ca­tions. And devices. And the indi­rect and non-obvious rela­tion­ships between all of this. It cre­ates a very com­pli­cat­ed and excit­ing ecosys­tem. One that is capa­ble of dra­mat­ic inno­va­tion, and dra­mat­ic exploitation.

Media, Technology & Culture 1.3: So, What’s New?

presented by Joshua Braun

So, how do we make sense of new media? How can we guard against our temp­ta­tion to assume, our implic­it sense, even, that every­thing in our expe­ri­ence of today’s emerg­ing dig­i­tal media is brand new and unprece­dent­ed? And how do we do that while also appre­ci­at­ing the things that real­ly are new or unique to our cur­rent cul­tur­al con­text and moment in history?

Media, Technology & Culture 1.2: Yesterday’s ​“New“s

presented by Joshua Braun

We’re con­tin­u­ing our series of install­ments, focus­ing on what makes new media new. Or put anoth­er way, how new are new media, really?

Some Random Transcripts

Rebel Scientists
presented by G. Pascal Zachary

I'm going to make an argument in this talk that dissent is valuable not merely to establish your moral dimension or to make a moral act or moral posture. It's essential to scientific progress. So we can't do without dissent; it's not an affectation. Read more →

Nostalgia for the Net: Kimmie David & Lola Pellegrino
presented by Kimmie David, Lola Pellegrino

I remember like if I was investigating a new girl who would possibly be my friend, I remember like, loading up their site and there was frames. And then I’d be like— If they were truly cool like you, I’d be like “Oh cool, they installed Greymatter themselves.” And if not I’m like “I know this is a LiveJournal in a frame. You can’t fool me.” Read more →

Decentralize, Democratize, or Die
presented by Cory Doctorow

You might be more comfortable thinking about deploying math and code as your tactic, but I want to talk to you about the full suite of tactics that we use to effect change in the world. And this is a framework that we owe to this guy Lawrence Lessig. Read more →

How Sci-Fi Reflects Our AI Hopes and Fears
presented by Kanta Dihal

We came up with the idea to write a short paper…trying to make some sense of those many narratives that we have around artificial intelligence and see if we could divide them up into different hopes and different fears. Read more →
