National Communication Museum’s Post

We created this new visual campaign for the National Communication Museum's exhibition 'Instruments of Surveillance'. Leveraging a machine-learning object detection model in p5.js, it's another example of our exploration into the use of technology as part of the design process — fitting given the exhibition topic. "Instruments of Surveillance grounds an age-old and contentious topic in the human and the everyday. From government spooks, data-extraction and activism through to generative AI, this exhibition unravels the interface between human and machine, inviting audiences to unpack the technologies that people use to surveil and their role in it."

Top Tips N++ AI is simple. Looking for that "Ah Ha!" moment to understand AI? Look no further than the WISARD machine from 1984 (yes, really): https://lnkd.in/dgXAntDS And an easy to understand description of how it works is here: https://lnkd.in/d9wptbeq Now for the "AhHa!" moment. One development involves taking the output image when something is recognized, delaying it by a short time, and then mixing it in with the stimulus before writing the stimulus back to memory. Connected in this way the machine has the ability to learn for itself, and is possessed of a state structure. E.g. if trained in sequence with the letters J-O-H-N, then on subsequent presentation for recognition of the letter J, it will proceed to generate the output J-O-H-N.

#FestivalofDAM continues with Jeff Steward from Harvard Art Museums who is discussing the evolution of computer vision (CV) and AI services in the museum’s image and data pipeline, exploring how inconsistencies in AI can lead to new storytelling and engagement opportunities for both university and public audiences.

Congratulations Emele Ugavule!! Emele, collective member of Studio Kiin will be a keynote speaker at the 2024 Aotearoa Digitial Arts Network Symposium Sunday 26th May. Rising Algorithms: Navigate, Automate, Dream explores the increasing sophistication of machine learning and artificial intelligence, its growing accessibility for artists and the general consumer, and its influence on wider society as we navigate complex environmental, social and economic issues worldwide. In our digitally ubiquitous era, we ask if technology can solve the wicked problems of our time or if it is exacerbating them? How have powerful machine learning-driven tools impacted contemporary cultural production? How are artists in Aotearoa navigating this shifting landscape? Tickets and more info below
