29-30 November, Brussels, Belgium For Your Eyes Only will bring together young and senior academics, representatives from public organizations, companies, ngo’s and governments together with artists, designers and developers to discuss and create visions for online social networks in which privacy, security, and other user needs are addressed. PROGRAM: Media and Literature at NYU PROGRAM is a collaborative, interdisciplinary event series organized by graduate students within New York University’s departments of Media, Culture, and Communication, English, and Comparative Literature. The series will present talks that explore the cultural, historical, aesthetic, and political impact of software and programming logic. The goal of the series is to create an interactive space for the exploration of emerging practices across media and literature, both online and off. The lecture series is open to the public, and is intended to facilitate a dialogue on the intersections of these fields. More information is available here. |
Functioning as part of the NSF Future Internet Architecture Project, the Values in Design Council is in its third year of serving as a multi-disciplinary team of experts in the social analysis of digital information technologies. The team acts as analysts and consultants to the FIA projects, helping to identify junctures in the design process in which values-critical technical decisions arise. Intel Science & Technology Center for Social Computing Launched in June of 2012, the Intel Science and Technology Center (ISTC) for Social Computing will conduct foundational research into the relationship between information technology and society. Centered at the University of California-Irvine, the center brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers from leading universities across the United States, including experts in social media, digital culture, user interfaces, cultural computing, and participatory design. The ISTC for Social Computing is part of a network of Science and Technology Centers established by Intel in support of advanced research in information technology, including sister centers in Visual Computing, Pervasive Computing, Cloud Computing, Secure Computing, Embedded Computing, and Big Data. |
