Data Vis Talks – Visualization, Research and Art
– Betahaus Café, Prinzessinnenstraße 19-20, 10969 Berlin
This meetup’s topic is not easy to be reduced to a single word. Our speakers work with human motion, algorithms, complex systems, technologies and networks. What they all do is utilising visualisation to help us understand these topics or at least give us a new persective. ----------- https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/2/7/2/600_462821586.jpeg Rethink digital poetry In Rethink Digital Poetry mio, art director at Waltz Binaire (waltzbinaire.com (http://waltzbinaire.com/)), will lead through an exciting journey from urban street art to new media design - in order to review the benefits of interdisciplinary research and its characteristic poetry. Furthermore the use of cutting edge technology and its benefits for visual communication will be critically analyzed and discussed within the context of contemporary design. --- https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/5/2/6/600_462958662.jpeg AI Senses In current times, “machine learning” and “artificial intelligence” are buzzwords. But they are more than that—they influence our behaviors and understandings of the technologies they describe and the world they make. A lack of understanding of how these systems operate on their own terms is dangerous. How can we live and interact with this alien species, which we set forth into the world, if we know it through interfaces constructed to make the machine feel closer to the world we already know? This project visualizes sensor data that our cell phones and personal computers collect and digest on our behalf, to help us understand how these machines experience the world. Kim Albrecht (kimalbrecht.com (http://kimalbrecht.com/)) is a visual researcher & information designer. Among others, he is interested in networks (http://kimalbrecht.com/project/culturegraphy/), time (http://kimalbrecht.com/project/meteorites/), power (http://kimalbrecht.com/project/billionaires/), processes (http://kimalbrecht.com/project/analysis-of-space-/) and how we can find visual representations for these topics to produce and represent knowledge.
