SUMMARY:Knowing Together - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Knowing Together is a project exploring the dimensions of intimacy through 3D scanning. The exhibition was born out of a workshop and commissioned by the 2018 Myers Fund at EdLab Teachers College in collaboration with the Brown Institute’ Creative Technologist Rosalie Yu. The exhibition opens December 6\, 2018 and will be on display for six weeks. Details about the workshop that helped inspire and produce this exhibition below. \n\nThe project will begin with a workshop where the artist and a group of strangers learn photogrammetry\, a technique for creating 3D models of objects by combining photographs from multiple angles. The group will then form a circle and pass around a camera to progressively capture a 3D image as the two strangers embrace platonically for the duration of the scan. Each embrace will be 3D printed and exhibited as a sculpture in the Teachers College library in December. The entire group will be credited as creators of these sculptures\, which will be displayed alongside raw captured images\, video footage\, and other source materials from the creation of these sculptures.

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.
