Hello, Thanks for the update on Hack_Curio Biella. It is nice to see interesting projects grow out of academic research, and see them being useful! And thank you for including my project in you list :-))) So let me just take the opportunity to flesh out some future plans and directions for A is for Another: A Dictionary of AI https://aisforanother.net This is on hiatus while I finish my dissertation; but after October, I will be putting together a classroom-based workshop/exercise format to suggest how students and teachers can work on writing entries. I will also have a submission form so that anyone who has an entry can submit something one-off. The dictionary's architecture requires that entries be put together in a certain way. Please do write to me if you have questions or suggestions for this project. Stay tuned :-) Thank you. Best wishes, Maya On 8/5/20 8:08 PM, Gabriella Coleman, Dr. wrote:
Hi AoiR
If you, like us, are about to enter a year of teaching like no other, and you are hard at work re-thinking *everything* we might have a helpful resource : https://hackcur.io/
Hack_Curio is a video exhibit about hackers that covers a range of topics that precipitate out of hacking: disinformation; the visual culture of the last 40 years; media stereotypes; disability and technology; the economics of information; the history of computing; surveillance; whistle blowing and leaking; cyberpunk; gaming; equity and inclusion in computing and silicon valley...Each video comes paired with a paragraph or two written by a scholar, hacker, or journalist. The videos and entries are short but also try to a make a point or two which your students can learn from, take apart, rework, or expand on. By Sept we should have 60 entries.
You can check out the full list here https://hackcur.io/the-list/ or explore the site by category or tags.
If you use it, do tell us how it worked!
Although there are more entries being written, we are taking a small break from soliciting entries so we can focus on putting together our syllabi but if you are interested in writing for us, please do reach out after September 15th. We have a collection of 100 + clips on all sorts of topics and plan on publishing for the next few years.
If you have other digital-type resources you love and that work well in the classroom, we'd love to hear about them as well.
A few others I really like are:
The Eugenics Archive https://eugenicsarchive.ca/
A is for Another: A Dictionary of AI https://aisforanother.net/
Making Sense of Artificial Intelligence https://atozofai.withgoogle.com/intl/en-US/
Critical Media Project: https://criticalmediaproject.org/
All the best,
Biella (along with Chris, Paula, and Nathan)
