Everybody Knows When You’re Talking To Your Mother

presented by Chris Clark

You have to think with your users, with your cus­tomers, what is your actu­al rela­tion­ship? Are they your gods? Are they your guests? Are they a nui­sance to you? Because you know where the pow­er is. 

The Computer as Extended Phenotype

presented by Steven Pemberton

The com­put­er is being used for so many things that I claim that we have to con­sid­er the com­put­er as part of our extend­ed phe­no­type. It’s just a part of a thing that has evolved with us using memes.

When Algorithms Fail in Our Personal Lives

presented by Caroline Sinders

I won­der with all these vary­ing lev­els of needs that we have as users, and as we live more and more of our lives dig­i­tal­ly and on social media, what would it look like to design a semi-private space in a pub­lic network?

Fran Allen Keynote, Grace Hopper Celebration 2008

presented by Fran Allen

What I believe is that com­put­er sci­ence emerged as a sci­ence, as a pro­fes­sion, with all the require­ments on what pro­fes­sion­al stan­dards and require­ments of what one need­ed to know to get a job in the field. […] In that peri­od, then, cre­den­tials were estab­lished, and by the ear­ly 70s things had real­ly changed for women, at least in my envi­ron­ment, and most oth­er groups that I’ve talked to about this the­o­ry absolute­ly agree that that was where there was a sig­nif­i­cant shift.

What’s The Most Good You Can Do?

presented by Peter Singer

Unfortunately at the moment I think typ­i­cal­ly phil­an­thropy is not being used very effec­tive­ly, and that’s part­ly because of the kind of non-judgmental atti­tude that phil­an­thropy advi­sors and peo­ple gen­er­al­ly have about philanthropy. 

Star Simpson at the Freedom to Innovate Summit

presented by Star Simpson

One of the most sur­pris­ing out­comes since then is to find just how many peo­ple I know who are engi­neers [have] had some expe­ri­ence with the law. It’s unbe­liev­able the num­ber of peo­ple who’ve come to me and said, ​“Look, the same thing hap­pened to me when I was a teenag­er, when I was in col­lege, a lit­tle after.”

Hal Abelson’s Remarks at the Freedom to Innovate Summit

presented by Hal Abelson

Maybe what we ought to do is start advo­cat­ing that hack­ing is a reli­gion. We can expand, right? We can car­ry around our lit­tle cir­cuit boards with lights and maybe extend to e‑meters or something.

Mindful Cyborgs #69 — Materials Science & Plastic-making Bees with Deb Chachra

presented by Deb Chachra, Klint Finley, Sara M. Watson

Designers do spend a fair bit of time think­ing about what mate­ri­als to use, but they don’t nec­es­sar­i­ly think about why those mate­ri­als have the prop­er­ties that they have.

Interview with Filip Leu, Tattoo Artist

presented by Filip Leu

The main dri­ve we all have is the desire to be tat­tooed. Design comes in sec­ondary, absolute­ly, because there are mul­ti­ple choic­es at every turn that would suit just fine.

Interview with Lal Hardy, Tattoo Artist

presented by Lal Hardy

The real­i­ty TV shows have been a bless­ing and a hin­drance, I think, to a lot of tat­too artists. The real­i­ty is, real­i­ty shows aren’t real. But they do make peo­ple aware of tattooing.

The Conversation #17 — Laura Musikanski
presented by Aengus Anderson, Laura Musikanski, Micah Saul

What's key…is that we all need to work together. There's no way for all of us to know about each other. We're in that part of this new way of being that there's too many players. It's too chaotic. There is no center, there is no hub. But we need to find ways to work together, and to lose the idea that any one of us is the solution. Because if any one of us were the solution, we wouldn't be where we are now. Read more →

Emily Bell on Elusive Objectivity
presented by Emily Bell

This idea of control is so baked into the journalistic psychology that actually this articulation, done in a highly-controlled environment with an advertising agency, is one which even though it's not new to the open Web is still very very very new to journalism. And what we don't have at the moment is anything like a balancing investment in the kinds of things which allow us to participate in the crowd. Read more →

p5js Diversity & FLOSS Panel Q&A
presented by Casey Reas, Chandler McWilliams, Golan Levin, Johanna Hedva, Maya Man, Phoenix Perry, Sara Hendren, Stephanie Migdalia Pi Herrera, Taeyoon Choi

Sara Hendren: One proactive thing we do with students at Olin in their first year on team collaborative projects is we have them identify and separate the team’s goals from their individual learning goals. Read more →

Disposable Life: David Theo Goldberg
presented by David Theo Goldberg

I'm not here going to think aloud about these various contestatory forms of evidence-giving, although much might be said about that in relation to thinking about violence. But rather to think about the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri and the kinds of police response to it in relation to the history of violence and the way in which race shapes said history of violence in a country like the United States… Read more →

Deep Lab intro­duc­tion by Golan Levin
presented by Golan Levin

I conceived to invite Addie Wageknecht, who is an American and Austrian artist, who’s been dealing with issues of privacy and security to say, “What would you do?” and she proposed to get a dozen of the baddest-ass ladies that she knew together to brainstorm what it meant to make art nowadays, and to deal with culture.
