SUMMARY:Transparency Series Seminar: Reporting on Devices with Surya Mattu
DESCRIPTION:More than ever\, objects in our homes and on our person are connected\, sharing data about our lived experience with companies and with the public. How do we measure what our devices collect about us\, and more importantly\, what they share? Join us for a conversation with Surya Mattu\, an artist\, engineer and journalist who will share with us a variety of stories that investigate connected devices. Mattu is currently an investigative reporter at The Markup\, an R&D Journalism Resident at Eyebeam and a Research Scientist at the Center for Civic Media. Previously\, Mattu was a contributing researcher at ProPublica and Gizmodo. \nFor registration and more information\, go to transparency.brown.columbia.edu

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Workshop: Reporting on Devices with Consumer Reports
DESCRIPTION:Most consumer advocacy is based on a definition of consumer rights anchored on two things: value and safety. While these issues are perennial concerns for consumers\, they don’t capture the larger threats posed by the 21st C marketplace: reductions in individual agency and control. Amazon\, Google\, Facebook\, and the other corporate powers offer products that don’t pose traditional ‘safety’ threats. In this workshop we start with the hypothesis that the consumer movement has mostly ‘solved for the 20th C.’ Products are better\, safer\, and cheaper than ever. That what we need\, instead\, is a new framework anchored in contemporary threats to agency and control. And from this framework\, new models for product ratings\, consumer decision-making\, and so on\, for evaluating network-connected devices and “apps.” We will explore this new terrain through the lens of Consumer Reports’ new Digital Standard. We will apply both technical as well as analytical tools to examine how to report on connected devices and “apps.” \nApply for the workshop at transparency.brown.columbia.edu.
