Art, Design, and the Future of Privacy Introduction

presented by Marvin Jordan, Meredith Whittaker

We have to know what we want. We have to imag­ine how it looks. We have to under­stand how it feels, how it smells, how it func­tions, before we can design it. Before we can code it. Before we can imple­ment it, and before we can sell it.

Art, Design, and the Future of Privacy Preface

presented by Meredith Whittaker

You don’t need a CS degree to know how [tech­nolo­gies] impact your life, so how do we start exam­in­ing those impacts and then lead­ing with an under­stand­ing of what we actu­al­ly want to build, how we want to build it, and let­ting the imag­i­na­tive capa­bil­i­ties of all of these peo­ple dri­ve that.

Traditional Knowledge and Copyright: the Implications for Digitising Pacific Island Cultural Heritage Collections

presented by Mark Boddington

So what would this mean for those with an inter­est in dig­i­ti­za­tion? Despite being a new legal frame­work, the pro­pos­al may lead to some famil­iar prob­lems for cul­tur­al her­itage insti­tu­tions. Many of you are aware of the prob­lem of orphan works in copy­right. This is where the own­er of a pro­tect­ed work is uniden­ti­fi­able or uncon­tactable, and because they can’t be found it fol­lows that they can’t grant per­mis­sion to oth­ers to copy their work.

The Perfect Face

presented by Tim Sherratt

With mea­sure­ment comes the pow­er to cat­e­go­rize and con­trol. These are tech­nolo­gies that enable us to be judged at a dis­tance, to be iden­ti­fied as a threat or a sales oppor­tu­ni­ty just by the way we look. Facial recog­ni­tion takes this fur­ther. Not only can we be reduced to a set of externally-verifiable mea­sure­ments, but these mea­sure­ments are assumed to some­how con­sti­tute our identity.

Garrett Robinson at Aaron Swartz Day 2015

presented by Garrett Robinson

The thing about SecureDrop […] is that it’s changed a lot in the past two years. But what I real­ized was that the core design, the core archi­tec­ture, is almost com­plete­ly unchanged from what Aaron cre­at­ed and called DeadDrop over 2 years ago today.

Brewster Kahle at Aaron Swartz Day 2015

presented by Brewster Kahle

I’d sug­gest it’s time to fix the World Wide Web […] and I’m going to sug­gest the way to do this is by build­ing a dis­trib­uted Web. This is a call to build a dis­trib­uted Web, to lock the Web open.

Cindy Cohn at Aaron Swartz Day 2015

presented by Cindy Cohn

We’ve got an inflec­tion point oppor­tu­ni­ty here and we ought to be talk­ing about this European Court of Justice opin­ion and what it means, because what the European Court of Justice said is the NSA sur­veil­lance is not appropriate.

Roger Dingledine at Aaron Swartz Day 2015

presented by Roger Dingledine

I was think­ing back about all the var­i­ous mem­o­ries of Aaron, and I want­ed to share three of them with you. Two of them fun and cheer­ful, and one of them a lit­tle bit less fun and cheerful.

Jacob Appelbaum at Aaron Swartz Day 2015

presented by Jacob Appelbaum

Let’s not only lib­er­ate the doc­u­ments of the world, let us act in sol­i­dar­i­ty to lib­er­ate all of human­i­ty. Let us cre­ate infra­struc­ture that resists mass sur­veil­lance. Let us enable peo­ple to leak doc­u­ments. And let us also work to infil­trate those orga­ni­za­tions that betrayed us.

Micah Lee at Aaron Swartz Day 2015

presented by Micah Lee

When I was think­ing about what I would talk about last night, I was read­ing more about Aaron. Unfortunately, I nev­er got to meet him before he died, but I real­ized that he passed away on January 11, 2013, and that was actu­al­ly the same day that I first heard from Edward Snowden.

Disposable Life: Gil Anidjar
presented by Gil Anidjar

In usages of dispose, disposition, disposing, there is always a question of putting in order, and putting things in their place. Which also means of course having the power to do so. Read more →

From Managerial Feudalism to the Revolt of the Caring Classes
presented by David Graeber

I think we need to really think hard about what has been happening to social class relations. And the conclusion that I came to is that essentially the left is applying an outdated paradigm. You know, they're still thinking in terms of bosses and workers and a kind of old-fashioned industrial sense. Where what's really going on is that for most people the key class opposition is caregivers versus managers. And essentially, leftist parties are trying to represent both sides at the same time, but they're really dominated by the latter. Read more →

Johanna Hedva at p5js Diversity
presented by Johanna Hedva

I wanted to begin my talk by making a confession that I am a total outsider to your community in the sense that I don’t usually code. I wanted to give you a little story to locate me, and how I got to where I am today in being part of this community but from a different perspective. Read more →

Sustainably Feeding a Planet of 11 Billion
presented by Charles Godfray

The most extraordinary thing that's happened in my adult intellectual lifespan is a demographic transition. The fact that human population fertility will reduce itself naturally in a non-coercive way if we get things right. Read more →
