Dear All, I wanted to let you know that recordings from two recent events organised by the Centre for Attention Studies (part of the Digital Futures Institute at King’s College London) are now available online: ATTENTION! This is a playlist of 13 lightning talks on the topic of attention, by King’s scholars from different disciplines. Presented from a variety of disciplines – from literature, philosophy, education and digital humanities through to psychology, neuroscience, politics and business – the talks are an attempt to map the new field of Attention Studies. This is a field where academic research meets a wider socio-ethical obligation to figure out what it means to live well, with and through technology. You can watch them all here: [1]https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU0ka4iPReX6BKqCwKn3VJhwjxy2I XgzN How Humans and Machines See the World The event explored the following questions: Can machines see? What does it mean for humans to endow machines with the capacity for seeing? But do we actually understand how humans see the world? And is there even a ‘we’ that does the seeing? The speakers included: Paula Gortázar (Westminster), Daniel Chávez Heras (King’s), Leonardo Impett (Cambridge) and Joanna Zylinska (King’s).
