The Digital Everyday conference - 6 May at King's College London
by Feldman, Zeena 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Dear friends, The Centre for Digital Culture at King’s College London is hosting its annual conference on Saturday 6th May. This year's theme is The Digital Everyday: Exploration or Alienation? This international conference aims at exploring the digital everyday, understood as the transformation of everyday life practices brought about by digital technology. From how we buy, walk around, get a cab, love, break up, go to bed, meet new people and sexual partners to the way we rate services, turn on the fridge, exercise, eat, use social media and apps, Big Data is reshaping some of the most basic activities in our lives. We will also explore a number of overarching dynamics and trends in the digital world that contribute to these transformations, including: processes of digital individualisation and aggregation; the elisions of spatial and temporal barriers; trends towards quantification and datafication; and the dialectic between control and alienation. We will have keynotes by Judy Wajcman, Susanna Paasonen and Taina Bucher and panels on play, self, labour, love, surveillance and place in the digital world. The draft programme is available at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/ahri/centres/Digicult/CDC-programme-FINAL.pdf. The conference fee is £15 (£10 for students) and registration is open at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/ahri/eventrecords/2016-2017/Digicult/The-Digi…. Hope to see you there!

1st CFP - Crowds at Risk: Exploitation, Creative Destruction, and the Unintended Effects of Crowdsourcing Workshop @ ECSCW 2017
by Karin Hansson 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

[Apologies for cross-postings] 1st Call for Papers Crowds at Risk: Exploitation, Creative Destruction, and the Unintended Effects of Crowdsourcing Workshop at the 15th European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW 2017, August 28 – September 01) Location, Date: Sheffield (UK), August 29 2017 Organizers: Thomas Ludwig (University of Siegen), Karin Hansson (Stockholm University), Tanja Aitamurto (Stanford University), Christoph Kotthaus (University of Siegen), Elizabeth Anne Watkins (Columbia University), Ujwal Gadiraju (Leibniz Universität Hannover), Enric Senabre Hidalgo (Open University of Catalonia) Deadline for Submission: May, 19 2017 Webpage: http://crowdsatrisk.hci-workshop.org/ <http://crowdsatrisk.hci-workshop.org/> Abstract: Crowdsourcing comes with a number of positive promises for organizations: Cost reduction, a 24-hour workforce, and short-term knowledge gathering. On the other hand, this „creative destruction“ undermines labor rights and regulations. Unfair and opaque payment systems and socio-spatial inequalities among crowd workers are some of the pitfalls of crowdsourcing. ICT can lead to exploitation of the crowds and other negative (unintended) effects of crowdsourcing. This workshop examines crowds that are at risk (e.g. children), their characteristics and behaviors and the role of ICT within the crowd work. We welcome researchers from a diversity of disciplines and perspectives to illuminate insights into crowds at risk and trying to shed light on questions about what the destructive forces at work are, how work is changing, and what unregulated areas of “work” are exploited. Topics: – Ethical issues and groups at risk within crowdsourcing – ICT tools and attempts to establish sustainable work cultures online – Empirical studies about crowds at risk – Crowdsourcing contexts vulnerable for exploitation – ICT-driven new forms of labor – Crowd-workers responsible for their own infrastructures – Cybersecurity – Laws and regulating of child work/consumption online – Cases of exploitation of children as crowd workers – The gamification of the lifeworld – Citizen-based crisis management groups at risk – Cases of crowdsourcing as self fulfilment or self-exploitation – Crowd work and ownership in Platform Cooperativism Schedule: May 19: Submission May 19 – June 02: Review Phase June 02: Notification The position paper should be 2-4 pages and follow the ECSCW exploratory papers template. Send submissions and inquiries to the following email address: crowdsatrisk(a)listerv.uni-siegen.de <mailto:crowdsatrisk@listerv.uni-siegen.de>. At least one author of the position paper must attend the workshop. All participants must register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the conference. With best regards, Karin Hansson (on behalf of all organizers). -- ____________________________________ Karin Hansson PhD Dept. of Computer and Systems Sciences Stockholm University Postbox 7003, 164 07 Kista, SWEDEN Visiting address: Borgarfjordsgatan 12, Kista E-mail: khansson(a)dsv.su.se <mailto:khansson@dsv.su.se> people.dsv.su.se/khansson <http://people.dsv.su.se/khansson> ____________________________________

CfP: Reconsidering Design for Civic Engagement and Participation
by Karin Hansson 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Call for Papers One day Workshop at ECSCW 2017 in Sheffield UK. https://ecscw2017.org.uk/ <https://ecscw2017.org.uk/> August 28th 2017 Reconsidering Design for Civic Engagement and Participation https://reconsideringdesign.wordpress.com/ <https://reconsideringdesign.wordpress.com/> We believe the HCI/CSCW communities need to put more efforts into envisioning new ways of designing for participation; ways that move beyond basic participation toward more manifold forms of inclusion (Le Dantec and Di Salvo, 2013) thereby enabling a means for engaging with power structures and marginalization (Balka, 2006; Beck, 2002; Shapiro, 2005). As such, we cordially invite researchers, designers, activists, technologists and artists that are exploring and/or experimenting with critical design projects, political design, design-for future-use, for and with social movements, alternative ways of living and alternative economies, to envision and generate a comprehensive program of research. The goal of such research program is to investigate emergent design practices that involve both the design of the material, technical artifact and the political movement, social enterprise or grassroots communities committed to enact social change through citizen’s participation. Some of the questions we would like to discuss in this workshop are: What is the designer’s agency in configuring and infrastructuring civic participation and engagement in society? How much should the designer be involved in the process of infrastructuring civic participation? What are the kinds of dilemmas (i.e. technical but most importantly, those associated with designers’ own values, beliefs, ideologies, subjectivities) that emerge when designers develop their practices in order to contribute to citizen’s participation and political action? Designers who are committed to contributing to civic participation; what are they sensitive to? How do designers’ practices and institutions configure and give shape to online tools for civic engagement and participation? How can the impact of civic technology design be sustained over time? This workshop seeks to bring together works that illustrate, analyze and/or critically inquire innovative ways to do design for civic engagement and participation. By innovative ways of doing design, we mean ways that go beyond applying PD methods with the aim to include the user in the development of a computer system or with the goal to reach consensus among the stakeholders inherently involved. We mean ways of doing design that envisage socio-technological interventions that partake in the ongoing constitution of publics or/and communities and put continuously design efforts into infrastructuring present and future civic participation. The workshop will consider the following topics: Research-oriented approaches as well as Design-oriented approaches focused on civic engagement and participation. We will consider both participation that aims to change the whole authority establishment (political hacking) and more narrowly-focused participation that nevertheless aims to change society (social entrepreneurship) and civic participation that focuses on improving specific aspects like voting, energy, sustainability, transport infrastructure, etc. Challenges involved when doing design with the goal of infrastructuring civic participation and specific ways to deal with them in order to contribute to development of resilient participation practices within publics and/or communities. What challenges were observed, in various cases? Research methods for the study of how designer’s role and design practices get entangled in tools developed for civic engagement, participation and political action. Learning processes involved in design practices aimed at civic participation, and in particular how they can be scaffold within designing for infrastructuring civic participation? Empirical or reflective work engaging with self-reflective design practices in HCI and CSCW, digital commons and making publics, the role of political hackers, social activists in configuring and infrastructuring civic participation, participatory policy design, and adversarial design. Important Dates May 26 – Deadline for submissions June 2- Notification of acceptance Submit your position paper ( 2-4 pages following the ECSCW exploratory papers template <https://ecscw2017.org.uk/papers-and-exploratory-papers/> for Workshops available at https://ecscw2017.org.uk/papers-and-exploratory-papers/ <https://ecscw2017.org.uk/papers-and-exploratory-papers/> ). Send your submissions to the following email address: tessy(a)dsv.su.se <mailto:tessy@dsv.su.se> At least one author of the position paper must attend the workshop. All participants must register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the conference.Position papers accepted and presented at the workshop will be published in the workshop proceedings and will be invited to submit to a special issue edited by the workshop’s organizers. Organizers Teresa Cerratto-Pargman <http://teresacerrattopargman.blogs.dsv.su.se/>, Stockholm University, is an associate professor of HCI, she is interested in the relationship between writing, meaning and technology from socio-cultural and critical perspectives of literacy and tool use. She works with a particular focus on design and emergent participatory and collaborative practices in TEL and Sustainable HCI. She is currently studying how civic participation and democracy are being redefined within a network for political innovation in Latin America. Cristian Bogdan <https://www.kth.se/en/csc/2.3721/2.18890/people/bogdan-cristian-1.181460>, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, has explored a few grassroots communities that work for the common good in non-political domains, such as amateur radio, Romanian infrastructure activists, electric car enthusiasts and Swedish energy amateurs. He recently became interested in how such grassroots movements can improve government and policy in the respective areas, and how can they indirectly lead to better democracy and participation. Somya Joshi <http://sustainablelens.org/?p=745>, E-Gov, Stockholm University, is a Senior Lecturer at Stockholm University with expertise in the field of e-participation, e-democracy and e-governance. Her specialisation falls within the applied context of technological innovation, particularly in how it translates into transparency in governance, education, environmental conservation and health services within the developing world. Hanna Hasselqvist <http://www.designfakulteten.kth.se/doktorander/hanna-hasselqvist>, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Hanna’s research interests are in design processes where interactive systems are created as complement to and amplifiers of other initiatives and activities that involve various stakeholders in understanding and forming sustainable practices. In her work she has explored energy and transportation practices, designed support for amateur energy management in Swedish housing cooperatives and conceptualised collaborations for sustainable transportation. Karin Hansson <http://www.su.se/profiles/052karhan-1.187018>, Stockholm University, is a researcher at the Department of Computer & Systems Sciences at Stockholm University and The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Her research focus is participatory processes online and the social production of data.

Tweet ID Datasets
by Ed Summers 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

The Documenting the Now [1] project would like to announce a small contribution that may be of interest to the AoIR community: http://www.docnow.io/catalog/ This website is a clearinghouse of tweet id datasets that are available elsewhere on the web. As you probably know Twitter's terms of service do not allow datasets of tweets to be distributed to third parties, but they do allow for lists of tweet identifiers to be shared. Twitter provide an API to turn the identifiers back into data as long as the tweet hasn't been protected or deleted. This process is often referred to as hydrating. To make this process easier we've added hydrate functionality to the twarc [2] command line utility, and also introduced a desktop application called Hydrator [3]. There are instructions on the website on how to add a dataset to the catalog if you would like to. Unfortunately this editing process is currently a bit cumbersome since the web application is very lightweight at the moment. If you would like help please let us know. We would also be very interested in hearing any thoughts you might have about the ethics and mechanics of providing this type of information. Thanks! //Ed [1] http://www.docnow.io/ [2] https://github.com/docnow/twarc [3] https://github.com/docnow/hydrator#readme

by Christian Fuchs 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

Open Data Movements in the Age of Big Data Capitalism Tue 16 May 2017 17:00 – 19:00 Organised by the Westminster Institute for Advanced Studies 309 Regent Street University of Westminster London W1B 2HW Registration: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/open-data-movements-in-the-age-of-big-data-c… A WIAS seminar with International Research Fellow Dr Arwid Lund and Open Knowledge Activist Dr Jonathan Gray Big data has received a lot of attention in recent years, open data/knowledge less so, and the relation between open data/knowledge and the predominantly commercial big data sector even less so. This seminar aims at critically discussing and shedding light on the under-theorised field of open data/knowledge and its relation to capitalism. In this WIAS seminar, Dr Arwid Lund reflects on his study of the ideological landscape underpinning the open data/knowledge movement (Open Knowledge London). Dr Jonathan Gray focuses on his own involvement in this movement and his forthcoming book Data Worlds: The new politics of information. The aim of the seminar is to introduce critical perspectives on open data/knowledge’s relation to capitalism, as well as a critical understanding of the political character that informs its advocates. We will round the event off with a wine reception. Dr Arwid Lund is a Lecturer at the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences, Lund University, Sweden. Arwid is completing the second part of his WIAS fellowship from 3 April 2017 to 2 June 2017. During his fellowship, he will be working on how ‘openness’ is understood ideologically by advocates within the Open Knowledge Network. His aim is to identify the ideological landscape within this movement. Dr Jonathan Gray is a Prize Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research, University of Bath. He is also Research Associate at the médialab of Sciences Po and Tow Fellow at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism, Columbia University. As Director of Policy and Research at the global civil society organisation Open Knowledge, Jonathan has founded and co-founded numerous initiatives, including the Data Journalism Handbook, Europe’s Energy, Open Data for Tax Justice, OpenSpending, Open Trials, The Public Domain Review and Where Does My Money Go?.

new api for mapping the geography of global news coverage
by kalev leetaru 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Apologies for cross-posting - thought many on this list might find of great interest and utility the new GDELT mapping API for creating point, ADM1 and country-level maps of the geography of global news coverage from nearly all countries worldwide in 65 languages over the last 24 hours, updating every 15 minutes. The API, which is fully free and open, generates both instant embeddable browser-based interactive maps and GeoJSON optimized for use with platforms like Carto. http://blog.gdeltproject.org/gdelt-geo-2-0-api-debuts/ Specify any keyword or phrase and search the English machine translations of all content monitored in those 65 languages, allowing you to search across languages. For each keyword, the system compiles a list of all locations (down to the resolution of a hilltop in many areas) that were found within a sentence or two of your keyword and constructs a map showing the locations mentioned most frequently in context with your search. You can also map specific languages, domains, by tone, etc. Perhaps most uniquely, we are releasing a set of experimental maps that apply the deep learning image categorization we perform on global news imagery each day (more than a quarter billion images processed last year) and let you search by 10,000 labels of objects and activities depicted in the image, the OCR'd text in more than 80 languages depicted in the image, all of the text contained in the image file's metadata fields, the textual caption of the image as it appeared in each article, and the result of a Google Images reverse search that compiles a list of all of the captions used for that image anywhere it was found on the open web and assigns several million topical labels. As but one simple, but extremely powerful example - one of our research threads revolves around how violence is depicted across the world and the differing levels of normative baselines (for example, here in the US ISIS beheadings are typically shown with a "before" image or a heavily pixelated image, whereas in the presses of certain other countries the raw graphic image is frequently shown; similarly in the US we rarely see imagery of drowned refugees with the notable exception of Alan Kurdi, while the presses of other countries run graphic imagery of those who perish on a more frequent basis). Understanding how violence is depicted in the presses of the world and how those baselines are changing offers a lot of insight into the question of desensitization and the communication of crises. The new API allows you to create such a map in just a few seconds and have it live update every 15 minutes - here is one such example map that displays up to five images from the domestic press of each country over the last 24 hours that were determined to potentially depict some sense of "violence" (click on each country to see the images from its local press). (WARNING: many of these images are very disturbing). While you will see some errors here and there, overall this gives a very visceral sense of the differences in depiction of violence throughout the world. http://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/geo/geo?query=imagetag:%22safesearchviol… Similarly, here is a map of rubble, destruction, flooding and fire that we are using in a series of forthcoming projects to ground truth the severity of natural disasters as they occur in realtime (note that this particular map below shows the imagery of damage FROM the press of that country, which may reflect events in other countries as well): http://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/geo/geo?query=(imagetag:%22rubble%22%20O… Looking at text, you can map a particular news outlet like AllAfrica: http://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/geo/geo?query=domain:allafrica.com Or source language like Chinese: http://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/geo/geo?query=sourcelang:chinese Or the phrase "Donald Trump", aggregated to the country level: http://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/geo/geo?query=%22donald%20trump%22&mode=… You can find many more examples, along with full documentation on the announcement this morning: http://blog.gdeltproject.org/gdelt-geo-2-0-api-debuts/ Feel free to email me directly with any questions! We are super excited to see what you all are able to do with these new capabilities! And stay tuned for our temporal API being released in a few weeks! Kalev http://blog.gdeltproject.org http://kalevleetaru.com/
