Reports

Reports is a 3D data visualization work  that uses AQI and weather data for each city to influence a 3D shape to visualize the current air and weather conditions. Produced by : Liwen Wang Introduction: As a data visualization work, t he project selected the capitals and a few scattered cities (22 cities in total) of the top 10 countries in terms of GDP in 2022 and 4 countries in the bottom 50 in terms of GDP in 2022 to visualize their real-time air quality and weather data in a 3d way. Concept and Background Research: Air pollution theme: In an article published by WHO in April 2022, it is stated that billions of people are still breathing unhealthy air. Data also shows that the number of people killed each year by air pollution is far more than twice as high as the number of deaths due to COVID-19. The issue of air pollution will continue to take centre stage as the country develops and climate changes. (Air pollution kills millions - it's time to tackle it seriously, 2022) “Th...

week 18 Socio-Technical Imaginaries:Blockchain, Decentralisation, Trust and Algorithmic Governance

I found some information about this area: As a "disruptive" technological innovation, blockchain has been widely used in many fields such as financial services, supply chain management and smart manufacturing, and has been extended to the field of social governance to promote social governance innovation. Blockchain technology, with its advantageous features of distributed storage, decentralization and de-trust, has driven social governance innovation in terms of organizational structure, subject status, social credit and governance efficiency.  At present, blockchain technology may face challenges in terms of technical performance, institutional arrangement, governance mechanism and value perception in embedding and enabling social governance innovation. Efforts should be made to improve technical innovation capacity, improve top-level institutional design, innovate social governance mechanisms and reconstruct governance value perception in order to better play the important...

week17 somthing related to AI

图片
 This week we mentioned a live real-time animation  Life After BOB   made by Ian Cheng .  This new form of real-time animation not only allows the viewer to interact with the avatars but also explores the future relationship between artificial intelligence and people in terms of content.  We also mentioned uncertainty and rationality, i.e. uncertainty in philosophy and algorithms.This also reminds me of a new type of live streaming that has recently emerged in our country, the 'virtual live chat room'. The comments made by viewers during the live broadcast are directly translated into the content of the live broadcast through a series of computational operations such as algorithms. At the same time the content and scenes of the live broadcast will change in real time as people interact with each other through comments and so on.

week16 Socity and Computation

Due to the current situation in Russia and Ukraine, We discuss the relationship between data algorithms and social catastrophism. The fire simulation scenario discussed in class demonstrates the role of the algorithm's re-simulation, which plays a large role in time replay. Turning to the ongoing COIVD epidemic, algorithms also play a huge role. A dataset for COVID-19 has been created on Kaggle, Google's scientific data competition platform, and is updated daily. The data is reliable and includes the age of the patient, their location when they developed symptoms when they were exposed to public places when they sought medical attention and more. Almost 300 people have already cited this data in their own analyses. This data is also used to prevent the spread of new crowns.  Meanwhile, researchers have used electronic health records from nearly 3,000 patients in Wuhan to build an algorithm that can predict patient mortality with over 90% accuracy. The powerful comput...

Week15 Exploration

 During the reading week, I found some "computational art"-related works. Mostly seen in the Centre Pompidou. (an exhibition called  "Worlds of Networks"  ) One of the works which was made by ecoLogicStudio  called Physarum City Drawing reminds me of the topic that we discuss in week13. Record some video from the gallery: video1 ,   video2 , video3 the piece using the GAN ( Generative Adversarial Network)  algorithm, connects with the urban structure of Paris to demonstrate the potentialities of a hybrid network. (through the eyes of the bio-digital algorithm)

week14 Haptics, Touch and Visions

This week we talk about the sense of touch and vision in machines and AI. This topic is really interesting, Senses are a unique characteristic of living things，  As technology explores the biology and the human brain more and more, researchers are discovering more of the body's senses. Examples include muscles, tendons and joints that include receptors that produce a sense of force (aka movement); receptors in the vestibule of the inner ear that provide us with a sense of balance; in the circulatory system, receptors that are sensitive to changes in carbon dioxide in the blood, blood pressure or heart rate; and receptors in the digestive tract that appear to regulate sensations such as hunger and thirst, with some brain cells possibly also involved as hunger receptors. This is particularly true for cells in the lower part of the brain (such as the hypothalamus), where some cells are sensitive to changes in blood chemistry (water and other digestive products) and even to change...
