Interview with Dr Margo DeMello, Cultural Anthropologist

presented by Margo Demello

Even if [the media] are going to talk about a fine art show in Paris, they still fall back on those same old phras­es, which is, ​“You’re not going to find sailors here!”

Interview with Paul Sayce, Vice-President, Tattoo Club of Great Britain

presented by Paul Sayce

I’ve been tat­tooed by mem­bers of my fam­i­ly and peo­ple who’ve nev­er tat­tooed before, because I just want the mark. To me, the tat­too­ing is more of a mark than an actu­al picture.

Interview with Dr. Matt Lodder, Art Historian

presented by Matt Lodder

Not real­ly many art pro­fes­sion­als, or any art pro­fes­sion­als real­ly, have though through what this might mean for art prac­tice and art the­o­ry. How can we think about tat­too­ing as an art form? If we do think about it as an art form, what are the con­se­quences of that for the ways tat­too­ing is nor­mal­ly understood?

Steal This Talk

presented by Wilson Miner

Appropriation is some­thing we’re real­ly uncom­fort­able with. We talk about it most­ly in neg­a­tive terms, when we even talk about it at all. But it’s also weird­ly a pret­ty fun­da­men­tal part of how we work.

Where to From Here?

presented by Cory Doctorow

Although we haven’t reached peak sur­veil­lance, we’ve reached peak indif­fer­ence to sur­veil­lance. There will nev­er be anoth­er day in which few­er peo­ple give a shit about this because there’ll nev­er be a day in which few­er peo­ple’s lives have been ruined by this.

No, Thank You: Agency, Imagination, and Possibilities for Rejecting World-Changing Tech

presented by Allison Burtch, Kate Crawford, Lauren McCarthy, Meredith Whittaker

We’re try­ing to say it’s on you, it’s your respon­si­bil­i­ty, fig­ure this out, down­load this, under­stand end-to-end encryp­tion, when it’s a shared prob­lem and it’s a com­mu­nal problem.

Ask a Prison Librarian about Privacy, Technology, and State Control

presented by Cory Doctorow, Sarah Ball

What does it mean to be pri­vate when you’re in a place where you have no right to pri­va­cy but are iron­i­cal­ly deprived of the thing that makes your pri­va­cy go away?

If You Build It, They Won’t Care: Designing Privacy-Preserving Technologies for People with Other Interests

presented by Ame Elliot, Harlo Holmes, Scout Sinclair Brody, Tyler Reinhard

I think that pri­va­cy is some­thing that we can think of in terms of a civ­il right, as indi­vid­u­als. […] That’s a civ­il rights issue. But I think there’s also a way to think about it in terms of a social issue that’s larg­er than sim­ply the individual.

Human Rights Meets Design Challenges

presented by Scout Sinclair Brody

How do we take this right that you have to your data and put it back in your hands, and give you con­trol over it? And how do we do this not just from a tech­no­log­i­cal per­spec­tive but how do we do it from a human perspective? 

Digital Privacy IRL

presented by Ame Elliot, Noah Biklen, Sarah Gold

As we’re giv­ing our homes this new lay­er of smart­ness and intel­li­gence, we’re giv­ing away its own­er­ship to very large orga­ni­za­tions. And as we become a gen­er­a­tion of renters, what I’m very inter­est­ed in is how do land­lords respond to that?

Strange Bedfellows: Digital Humanities, Internet Art, and the Weird Internet
presented by Darius Kazemi

I'm here at MITH today, and I wanted to talk a little bit about digital humanities from my position as an interested outsider. I've always kept a finger in academia, at first through game studies and people studying video games, and more recently through electronic literature and those fields. I'm not going to go into a "what is it?" debate because I know everyone who's in digital humanities is very tired of those, but we know when we see it, right? Read more →

Chido Govera at MAD SYD / Tomorrow’s Meal
presented by Chido Govera

What comes to mind at the thought of tomorrow's meal is that tomorrow's meal has to be a key that unlocks the potential of everybody. Young children who are going without food in Africa. Young women who are suffering in different ways because of lack of food, because of lack of opportunity. Tomorrow's meal has to be that key that unlocks that. Tomorrow's meal has to be a driver of socioeconomic development. Tomorrow's meal has to be a peacemaker that unifies us all. Read more →

Steal This Talk
presented by Wilson Miner

Appropriation is something we're really uncomfortable with. We talk about it mostly in negative terms, when we even talk about it at all. But it's also weirdly a pretty fundamental part of how we work. Read more →

What Should We Know About Algorithms?
presented by Ed Finn, Ian Bogost, Jennifer Golbeck

When I go talk about this, the thing that I tell people is that I'm not worried about algorithms taking over humanity, because they kind of suck at a lot of things, right. And we're really not that good at a lot of things we do. But there are things that we're good at. And so the example that I like to give is Amazon recommender systems. You all run into this on Netflix or Amazon, where they recommend stuff to you. And those algorithms are actually very similar to a lot of the sophisticated artificial intelligence we see now. It's the same underneath. Read more →
