Thanks for the encouragement and the recs Adam, though this'll be an Auckland based event so pretty much limited to NZers or people passing through.
re: activism I do see a lot of orgs that ignore the operations/power structures in the systems they use (medium) because they're keen on getting their agenda across to the maximum audience (message) - part of this is due of course to the lack of alternatives considered 'viable' (rightly or wrongly) in domains like social media and cloud storage, which in turn raises questions about the models and incentives which hold sway in information design and development. the surge of work that went into cryptography, for example, post-Snowden illustrates what happens when these goalposts are suddenly shifted. But yeah, I think there's a lot of untapped potential both critically and creatively in the topic so looking forward to it! :-) cheers, Luke On 28 January 2017 at 08:00, adam <[email protected]> wrote: > good topic! i think its wise to also think about how activists use data > (unfortunately) for propaganda - there is little in the way of best > practices here.... > > I would recommend for your panel: > https://responsibledata.io/ > > and Zara Rahman > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAoQHJH6l8Y > > adam > > > > On 01/28/2017 07:53 AM, Luke Munn wrote: > > Hey ADAers, > > > > I'm organizing a small panel around the politics of data, looking for > > critical and creative responses to how power is embodied and enacted > > through algorithmic processes - think Facebook and Google Search but also > > broader systems in which the computational is key, like Uber, the sharing > > economy, cryptocurrencies, financial trading, labour management, the > > Internet of Things, credit scoring, policing and so on.
