[NetBehaviour] BBC data visualisation project

2010-07-08 Thread tom.corby



Apologies for cross-posting, please forward this announcement to those who may 
be interested.

DataArt on BBC Backstage

The BBC and the University of Westminster are pleased to inform you of the 
online launch of a major public data visualisation project DataArt on BBC 
Backstage.

http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/data_art/index.php

We believe that data is a vitally new reporting medium that tells us stories 
about our lives. Often this data is difficult to understand in its raw form of 
lists of numbers or text, but as we are exposed to it on a daily basis 
interpretation skills and access to information resources are increasingly 
important for us all. Converting this data into explorable visualisations helps 
us to comprehend it in ways that draw upon our innate capabilities to read 
information as images and patterns. As both a visual medium and a tool for 
reasoning, these visualisations straddle the disciplines of art, design, 
science and statistics.

Who is DataArt for?
DataArt aims to reach people who know little about visualisation but want to 
find out more, those looking at visualisation from an educational perspective 
and the existing developer community already engaged in producing their own 
work.

What are we providing?
DataArt provides public access to data visualizations of the BBC's online 
resources be they news information from around the world, web articles, music 
data or video and learning resources.

For our launch we have released 4 visualisations for people to use immediately: 
Flared Music, 3d Documentary Explorer, SearchWeb, and News Globe. In addition 
we provide a learning resources section of the website giving further 
background information to the subject of visualisation including its histories 
and uses. This area will grow as the project develops and we hope will provide 
a rich source of educational material.

For more advanced developers we have also provided some initial access to 
tools, tutorials and computer code you can download and modify. Over the coming 
months, more visualisations will be released leading to a second phase of the 
project in November 2010, which sees the release of further source code using a 
variety of different programming languages and software libraries. All our 
visualisations are based on BBC data and use sources that are already open to 
the public which you can use immediately for your own projects. We will also be 
creating new data sources and hope to provide access to BBC data not currently 
available to the public.

Further releases will be publicised on our main site and via our facebook 
presence.

Participate!
We are interested in your thoughts and feedback whether you are a complete 
novice to the subject area, a student or an advanced practitioner. In the 
project blog we encourage you to tell us what you think about DataArt, share 
your experiences and publish links to work you have made with the material we 
have provided. We'll also pass on useful tips via the blog to help you get the 
most out of it. We'd also be delighted to hear your thoughts on via our 
facebook presence:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/DataArt-BBC-Backstage/108238225894676

The project is funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council and is the 
result of collaboration between the Centre for Research in Education Art and 
Media (CREAM), at the University of Westminster, BBC Backstage and BBC Learning.

This sounds really great - especially like the drunk Eliza idea.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Murdoch's latest move.

2010-07-08 Thread Alan Sondheim

Is this the same group that does Sky News? Curious.
Murdoch is as close to raw evil as I've seen - this isn't just for the UK 
- his right-wing attitudes in the US border on Nazism. It's cruel and a 
lot of people follow him. Between Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, 
etc., the horror is real. As far as I'm concerned he's a modern-day 
Goebbels.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Aphex Twin - Equation.

2010-07-08 Thread Jake Harries
I agree with Marc.
I've been composing sound pieces to create spectrographs for a number
of years, and exhibited a couple.
Here's one I did for one of Access Space's events at Lovebytes
Festival this year.

[NetBehaviour] Murdoch's latest move.

2010-07-08 Thread marc garrett
Murdoch's latest move.

Just received this from this from the 38 Degrees team.

This post is only for those in the UK, as well as those who are 
concerned regarding Murdoch creeping further into dominating our 
culture, especially the Internet

marc

Dear marc,

Rupert Murdoch is about to increase his stranglehold on the UK's media 
by taking complete control of BSkyB. He currently owns 40% and is trying 
to up that to 100%. This would be a disaster. It would give Murdoch even 
more political influence and could open the doors to biased, right-wing 
news reporting, like Fox News in the US. Together we can stop him.

Vince Cable has the power to stop Murdoch's plan. As Business Secretary, 
he's got 17 working days to call the deal in for a review. [1] If enough 
of us stand up to Murdoch and build a big enough petition, we can 
persuade Cable to block the takeover. But the clock's ticking - we have 
just 3 weeks to get him to act.

Take 30 seconds to sign our "Vince stand up to Murdoch" petition now:
http://www.38degrees.org.uk/murdoch

Murdoch thinks he has this deal sewn up. There are plenty of people in 
government who owe him big favours after his papers backed them during 
the election. Add to that the full force of Murdoch's media empire and 
you can be sure that Vince Cable will be feeling the pressure to cave in.

We need to outweigh that pressure with people power. Thousands of us 
need to tell Vince Cable to stand up to Murdoch.

38 Degrees members have been challenging Rupert Murdoch's ambitions in 
the UK for months. Last year we fought his attacks on the BBC. During 
the election we spoke out against his scaremongering about a hung 
parliament and voting reform. Sky News' Kay Burley told us during the 
election that we should just "go home and watch it on Sky News". [2] We 
didn't then, and we don't have to now as Murdoch tries to tighten his 
grip on the UK.

Click here to sign our petition to Vince Cable:

Thanks for getting involved,

David, Hannah, Johnny and the 38 Degrees team.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Entropy

2010-07-08 Thread marc garrett
Hi Daniel,

Thanks for sharing with us some of the context, structure & decisions 
around using The Eliza program. I was intrigued of its origin and found 
this info about it on wikipedia...

"ELIZA is a computer program and an early example (by modern standards) 
of primitive natural language processing. ELIZA operated by processing 
users' responses to scripts, the most famous of which was DOCTOR, a 
simulation of a Rogerian psychotherapist. Using almost no information 
about human thought or emotion, DOCTOR sometimes provided a startlingly 
human-like interaction. ELIZA was written at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum 
between 1964 to 1966."

Also visited here (http://www.manifestation.com/neurotoys/eliza.php3) 
"ELIZA first appeared in the 60's, some people actually mistook her for 
human."

I'm watching where Rosa & JonCates and other peer glitchers take it, 
noticing they are bringing in their own flavour and calling it 'Critical 
Glitch Artware', and not Glitch Art - adding 'software art' element to 
it all (it seems).

Oh yeah, before i forget - do you know http://runme.org/ ?

I'm sure you do... I thought that your recent project would fit well 
amongst their software art repositories platform...

I would like to see this in action.

I look forward to the Linux compiler version of 'Entropy', in the 
meantime will hassle some one who has Microsoft/Windows and download it :-)

Wishing you well.

Programmers need to get things just right or the program will be 
defective if it runs at all -- there's little room for approximation. 
But, of course in the real world programs are buggy -- even when they're 
written perfectly (which rarely happens), they run on operating systems, 
use standard libraries, and these huge bodies of code written by other 
people have their own bugs and inconsistencies (luckily for us Glitch 
Art folks). All code is faulty somewhere, if you dig deeply enough.

Entropy, you need to let go of this sense of control -- the most you can 
hope for is that the person using your program gets the gist of what 
you're trying to do. To program in Entropy means treating all data as 
limited resources that have unspecified number of uses before they've 
veered far enough away from their original values that they're 
essentially random.

forty-five, it won't crash -- they conform to its corrosive and 
approximating nature. When I wrote the Eliza program, since the same 
data is used over and over, the breakdown of this data is visible as it 
runs: you see the data corroding as Eliza's speech breaks down.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Aphex Twin - Equation.

Probably the best thing we're gonna see come out of spectrograph
software. It's different, for sure, but just not all that impressive.

Has he done anything more since?
