How and why is it that some experiential products that sell a feeling or vibe have license to “own” radically futuristic visions? Why do others all look the same? —

title_: Shock Doctrine as a Service
date: 2020-07-02 17:00

The last fifteen years has seen a surge of interest in decentralised technology. From well-funded blockchain projects like IPFS to the emergence of large scale information networks such as Dat, Scuttlebutt and ActivityPub, this is renewed life in peer-to-peer technologies; a renaissance that enjoys widespread growth, driven by the desire for platform commons and community self-determination. These are goals that are fundamentally at odds with and a response to the incumbent platforms of social media, music and movie distribution and data storage. As we enter the 2020s, centralised power and decentralised communities are on the verge of outright conflict for the control of the digital public space. The resilience of centralised networks and the political organisation of their owners remains significantly underestimated by protocol activists. At the same time, the decentralised networks and the communities they serve have never been more vulnerable. The peer-to-peer community is dangerously unprepared for a crisis-fuelled future that has very suddenly arrived at their door.

title_: Rebuild a data future between us
date: 2020-08-10 13:00
description: |
I am working on a series of projects examine the humans relationship with data and AI in the future. I want to address the iteration of ourselves and the iteration of computing. In the iteration process, how might we design a space that is safe for everyone, and how should we detail with our personal privacy with Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT)? And, when we have the technology to understand and communicate with every object, whats the relationship between humans? If we live in a fully virtual world, how might we sense and feel the reality? The projects includes a fiction story, a critical essay, a short film, and a speculative design solution. Through storytelling, I invite viewers to experience and rethink about the information revolution. For the talk, I want to discuss about my art and design research process, and how might us as artists, designers, and technologists to help build a positive future with data. I want to share my findings about our data culture, and how the current system might drive us to a world we dont want to live in. These projects I am working on cant be the solution for the data-driven world, but hopefully we can starting a conversation and some actions to protect our digital selves.
