Deep Lab, Deep Dive – Book Sprint at the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry

Author Greg J. SmithCategory Members Review People , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Posted on:

This past December a dozen artists, activists, and researchers converged at the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University for a book sprint. Led by instigator Addie Wagenknecht, the all-women cadre convened under the collective moniker Deep Lab, and set out  to “examine how the themes of privacy, security, surveillance, anonymity, and large-scale data aggregation are problematized in the arts, culture and society.” Although these topics are central to the work of most of its constituent practitioners—Kate Crawford, Jillian York, Ingrid Burrington, etc.—Deep Lab is best considered as kind of a force-multiplier where the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Kinect RGB+Depth Filmmaking [openFrameworks]

Golan Levin was invited by the FITC conference to answer a series of “Ask Me Anything” questions posted by Reddit visitors.
