Had a tutorial with Lorna and Susan this afternoon. I was trying to introduce my project to Susan and I found I really lack the ability to communicate and demonstrate my process. In the end, it was Lorna who helped me to explain. I felt I still lack the courage and confidence. Susan suggested that I should try to use branding to make the interventions stronger. So I quickly designed this logo back home. I nearly lost the skill of using the software since I haven't been practiced I lot and CorelDraw dose not apply to IOS. Finished this till late night. Susan also suggested me to do some research on Jewellry Fetish. That was something we started from for the Roller Project. But in my case I was not planning to further the study on jewellry but I still had I look of it, but didn't find a lot relevance. But thankful to her advice as well. I feel that I need to make my project more solid by adding more research and background. the Logo was designed very promptly to be used for the profile image.

I RELINQUISH OWNERSHIP OF MY ETERNAL SOUL, AND HAVE GIVEN PERMISSION FOR STEVE JOBS TO HARVEST MY ORGANS, AS AND WHEN HE REQUIRES THEM. I ALLOW THE APP TO READ MY TEXT MESSAGES, ALSO SEND TEXT MESSAGES. THIS MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED CHARGES. I ALLOW THE APP TO CALL PHONE NUMBERS WITHOUT MY INTERVENTION. THIS MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED CHARGES OR CALLS I ALLOW THE APP TO ACHIEVE MY CALENDAR DATA REGARDLESS OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR SENSITIVITY. I ALLOW THE APP TO MODIFY MY CALENDAR EVENTS AND EMAILS WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE . I ALLOW THE APP TO USE MY PRECISE LOCATION. I ALLOW THE APP TO CHANGE THE STATE OF NETWORK CONNECTIVITY. I ALLOW APP AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF AIRPLANE MODE. THE APP RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TRACK YOUR EVERY MOVEMENT, BOWEL OR OTHERWISE, AND USE THIS INFORMATION HOW WE SEE FIT, IF YOU’D LIKE TO “OPT OUT” OF THIS, IT’S TOUGH, YOU’RE OUR IBITCH NOW. SURRENDER TO OUR WILL. I ALLOW THE APP TO RECORD AUDIO WITH THE MICROPHONE. THIS PERMISSION ALLOWS THE APP TO RECORD AUDIO AT ANY TIME WITHOUT YOUR CONFIRMATION.

IN THE EVENT OF MY DEATH, MY ENTIRE BODY WILL BE SHAVED AND THE HAIR WILL BE USED TO MAKE SNAZZY TURTLENECK JUMPERS FOR STEVE JOBS. I ALLOW THE APP TO SELL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION INCLUDING NAME, ADDRESS, BILLING INFORMATION, AND FAMILY PROFILES- WHICH INCLUDED NAMES AND BIRTHDAYS OF CHILDREN TO THIRD PARTIES. I ALLOW MY DATA TO BE USED FOR GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE TO PREVENT OR TAKE ACTION REGARDING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. I AGREE THAT A BUSINESS MAY PAY THE APP TO DISPLAY MY USERNAME, LIKENESS, PHOTOS WITHOUT COMPENSATION TO ME. I AM AWARE THAT I AM REQUIRED TO CONVERT AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE TO OUR LITTLE CULT PER YEAR, AND TRY TO TELL ANYONE IN EARSHOT, ABOUT HOW IS ‘JUST WORKS’, AND ‘IT WOULD COMPLETELY CHANGED YOUR LIFE’. THE APP CAN CHANGE THESE TERMS AT ANY TIME. Two days before Manu recommend me to come to this event which she was coming as well. The topic is very similar to the field I study in. Both about future and data. This was the very first time I come into Imperial College. I came with Florence who seems interested in all the public events in London, just like me. There are lots of experts here and would be a great opportunity to make connections.
The Cities of the future Fringe will look at the complexity, science and engineering that underpins our current city infrastructure and services, the problems we face when things go wrong, and the new technologies and innovations that will underpin our cities of the future. This project aims to probe the effect of new digital technologies on privacy and discuss whether it is possible to achieve total privacy while still getting benefits from technologies through critical and speculative design, resulting in creating a Privacy Wonderland which includes a collection of tools, films and installations.
The ultimate desire of this project is to raising people’s awareness of protecting their privacy and knowing what the risks are, ensuring that we are prepared and educated for the brave new future, and creating a future that honors and respects personal privacy. I am not sure if I like Ai Weiwei or not. I like him always being brave and daring to challenge authority but he is annoying when he use a fascist way to express the idea. But he is clever and knowing how to please the west.
The first time I ever really know him was when I was in Taiwan. I went to the movie festival and watched his documentary. I was amazed by the way he sees things. and now he is in UK. I am aware how hard is it for him to go abroad. And luckily he had it. The reason why I put him in the journal is because his work is similar to my topic - Surveillance. He was being surveillanced by Chinese government and he hate about it and expressed his anger in the art works. He would be my biggest stakeholder. I really liked the way he says about government surveillance that I heard in the audio guide (unfortunately I didn't write it down), but he generally meant that China is becoming a very powerful country because it surveillance people for no reason. He did made some points in this line. The governments in developed world are getting very strong and stable. Like UK, USA. they can instantly censored that what people are thinking and planning. It's beneficial to fight against terrorists, but what about freedom. Can I post anything I want online and not getting myself in trouble? No. And I don't even dare to do that. The police will knock on my door in few minutes. I bet the government is censoring what I am typing on weebly right now. UNDERCOVER
We live in ‘surveillance society’ in which vast quantities of data are captured about us at almost every moment of our lives. As London department stores and casinos have already introduced biometric recognition, it becomes necessary for us to arm our selves and fight back. It is easy to hack an Iris Scanner just using Google Images. 1) download a high-resolution picture of David Cameron 2) print it out 3) cut the eyes out 4) pin the iris pattern on the glasses. Now I suppose you can easily bypass 10 Downing Street’s biometric reconciling system. The phone blocking case gives you a choice whether to expose your location information to organizations who tracks your phone or to hide your self by putting your phone inside. ‘Invisible Faces’ is an anti surveillance makeup kit which allows you to be seen by real people but can not be recognized in automatic system, so that you can protect your online data. Facial-recognition algorithms(OpenCV) relies on the identification and spatial relationship of key facial features, like symmetry and tonal contours of dark and light areas. Accordingly, instead of concealing your face by masks, you can block detection by creating an “invisible-face” using hair, makeup, and unique accessories. ‘Invisible Faces’ was especially designed and tested for occasions like protest, parade, festival, party, and clubbing.
This collection is a series of jewelry around the face which tries to discuss in a playful way that what would be considered as beauty in the future surveillance city. Ancient tribes use piercing, neck rings, and ear stretching to scare people and to protect themselves. I transformed the form and silhouette of human body by clips so that face recognize system would not work on you. This was the last minute call. At 12o' clock I was preparing my intervention showcase tomorrow for the first presentation of the semester. I had to do it myself. Exhausted. |
