Dataset Search
Dataset Search
Dataset Search enables users to find datasets stored across the Web through a simple keyword search. The tool surfaces information about datasets hosted in thousands of repositories across the Web, making these datasets universally accessible and useful. We believe that this project will have the additional benefits of a) creating a data sharing ecosystem that will encourage data publishers to follow best practices for data storage and publication and b) giving scientists a way to show the impact of their work through citation of datasets that they have produced.

Open is Cancelled - A bee with a blog - Medium
By freeing ourselves from the framework of open/closed and dualistic thinking, we create the potential for communities where misogyny, racism, and colonialism can be named and challenged. We create the potential for entirely new kinds of solidarity building and new kinds of social relationships — ones mediated through the internet, but rooted in kindness, compassion, and mutual respect.

Usability Testing Popular Shopify Themes - Nic Chan – Hong Kong Web Developer
Usability Testing Popular Shopify Themes - Nic Chan – Hong Kong Web Developer
In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of lawsuits filed in response to inaccessible websites. As a developer who works primarily with Shopify, I have seen an increase in questions from merchants related to accessibility, some of them from merchants who were facing lawsuits themselves. As Shopify is popular with small business owners who can’t afford a custom-built store, I began to wonder about the state of Shopify themes. What sort of options were out there for a merchant looking to purchase an existing theme from the theme store, and what could I safely recommend to merchants so they could have an accessible storefront from the beginning? I decided I would conduct some basic accessibility testing of all the themes on the homepage of the theme store to get an overview of what the theme landscape looked like.

OpenStreetMap Haiku
OpenStreetMap Haiku
Here's what's happening: we automated making haikus about places. Looking at every aspect of the surroundings of a point, we can generate a poem about any place in the world. The result is sometimes fun, often weird, most of the time pretty terrible. Also probably horrifying for haiku purists (sorry). Go ahead and give it a try.

The human screenome Project – In the Screenomics Lab at Stanford University
The human screenome Project – In the Screenomics Lab at Stanford University
Media are critically important in areas of wellbeing, democracy, poverty, violence, education, climate action and more. But in spite of big data promises, no one really knows what people actually see and do on their screens in an increasingly complex digital world. Consequently, research and policy is often incomplete, irrelevant or wrong. Our project launches a data collection and computational framework that includes precise recording and mapping of fragmented digital lives. Mapping the human screenome can be a critical and cross-cutting part of solutions and theories about social challenges involving media – from fake news to smartphone addiction to social media and mental health.

Screening Surveillance | [in]Transition
Screening Surveillance | [in]Transition
"Screening Surveillance" offers an interpretive chronology of surveillance in Hollywood from Charlie Chaplin to Edward Snowden. Composed entirely of clips from American film and television, Screening Surveillance maps the evolution of cultural discourses surrounding government surveillance, taking note of shifts from optical to computational surveillance and analyzing the ways this discourse has - and has not - changed since the revelations about NSA surveillance by government contractor Edward Snowden in June 2013. Film and television have historically associated surveillance with voyeurism in order to warn of the threat it poses to individual privacy and freedom. But the nature and significance of government surveillance has changed dramatically since the beginning of the computer age. In the realm of computational surveillance - specifically, the large-scale collection and mining of metadata - the power of looking is trumped by the power of knowing. Yet, when the cameras of Hollywood envision data surveillance, they often remain rooted in the visual realm, ignoring the very real threats to freedom and privacy that attend today's large scale data mining. Hollywood's preference for visual spectacle is certainly understandable, but the industry's broader inability to represent technological complexity disserves its ability to engage important social issues, simply because they are not readily visualized.

Visual Disturbances | [in]Transition
Visual Disturbances is an essay film that proposes a new concept of film style, what I call the Invisible Cinema. Unlike Hollywood classical style, which gently guides the audience’s gaze towards important narrative details, the Invisible Cinema features characters and objects that audiences fail to see--even if these characters or objects are in plain sight. Visual Disturbances uses psychologists Dan Simons and Christopher Chabris’ concepts of inattentional blindness and change blindness to explore how audiences perceive and mis-perceive cinematic images. Moreover, this work suggests that filmmakers across film history have intentionally utilized the Invisible Cinema as a stylistic option.

The Black Mirror card game isn’t soul-crushing enough to reflect the show - The Verge
The Black Mirror card game isn’t soul-crushing enough to reflect the show - The Verge
Interactive fans now have a new way to vicariously experience Black Mirror, though: Asmodee Games has just released Nosedive, an officially licensed board / card / app game inspired by a season 3 Black Mirror episode. The game, designed for three to six players, invites players first to tempt each other with potentially valuable or terrible lifestyle experiences — anything from being elected president to living in the family basement — and then to rate the experiences they get from other people, which helps generate a “social score” for each player.

How Black Mirror combines a disturbing future with a familiar past
How Black Mirror combines a disturbing future with a familiar past
The Netflix series Black Mirror is a supreme example of contemporary television fantasy. It is hard to think of any other modern show that is so constantly unpredictable, aesthetically accomplished, stylistically eclectic or downright disturbing. Over 19 self-contained episodes split into four series, Black Mirror seamlessly blurs genre boundaries – science fiction, horror, thriller and satire all meld into one another. But despite the eclectic sense of genre, Black Mirror is united by the theme of digital technology. The name of the programme itself refers to a turned off phone, television or any of the other screens that dominate our lives – the haunting black screen like a mirror. It seeks to identify the radical changes brought about by digital technology and push them to their logical conclusion.

Awful AI is a curated list to track current scary usages of AI - hoping to raise awareness to its misuses in society Artificial intelligence in its current state is unfair, easily susceptible to attacks and notoriously difficult to control. Nevertheless, more and more concerning the uses of AI technology are appearing in the wild. This list aims to track all of them. We hope that Awful AI can be a platform to spur discussion for the development of possible contestational technology (to fight back!).

Why we should design smart cities for getting lost
In our own work, we warn that ignoring decades of research by architects, geographers, urban planners, designers and sociologists could lead to a dystopian future where humans lose agency if we mindlessly pursue convenience and efficiency.

Start With This is a podcast gone creativity playground designed to put your ideas in motion, from the creators of Welcome to Night Vale, Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. Each episode centers around a topic from world building, to opening lines, and even failure. Then they give listeners two short assignments: something to consume and something to create. You might just find a creative partner in the process. Jeffrey and Joseph want you to start creating, one assignment at a time because the best way to start writing, is to start writing.
