The Relationship Layer over the Social Web
|
|
In the real world, I join, leave, or eavesdrop on social interaction based on an internal "priority" scheme that is unique to my goals, my history, and context of relationship with a person or group. On the social web, this priority scheme is not well supported. Existing social sites only offer crude measures of relationships within each specific walled garden. Relationship priorities also need to be applied to social interaction across the entire web.

Terminator 3.0: Rise of the Machines

How do consumers find out about and obtain their music, and how are artists compensated? Discuss.

Generative Art I - The Art of Losing Control
|
|
First popularized by composers such as John Cage and Brian Eno, and fine artists such as Sol Lewitt and Hans Haacke, Generative Art has exploded in the digital age via computer, robotic, and network technologies. Generative artists create and then step away from systems, allowing their machines the autonomy to create, or be, the art. This first of two sessions presents a fast paced survey of randomization, algorithmic mashups, physical computing, and other strategies for creating dynamic art that surprises both the audience and the artist.

What really is personalization?

The 'personalization' buzzword can be applied to any consumer marketing industry from cars to web 2.0 to digital entertainment. What the heck are people talking about? The term 'personalization' can mean a process by which users can choose the color of their car, or a sophisticated algorithm to understand the nuanced reaction as a listener perceives Norwegian death metal. On this panel, we try to separate 'personalization' from 'customization' and determine how the process can actually help.
