The Summary for this week ( 21st, 23rd, May)

I learn privacy and public in information technology class. It is the important key points on this week that History of and surveillance today, review of the capture model, definition of privacy, Lessig on monitoring and serach and Gandy on data mining .
Surveillance is close watch kept over someon or something. Today, the surveillances are with artists and art groups concerned. For example, ZKM show which is [ctr l] space, curated by Tomas Y.Levin, surveillance camera players, institute for applied autonomy, Julia Scher and Steve Mann’s video. Also I learned Technologies of surveillance. FoViiasage 7 SuperbowlXXXV is an example. There is from surveillance to dataveillance. Dataveillacne/spying is carnavor, echelon and total information awareness agency and it is officially ended in September 2003.
There are Aclu’s analysis, new powers of surveillance, search and seizure and threat to the first, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth and fourteenth amendments of the U.S. Constitution to pariot act and post 9/11.
Surveillance model is built upon visual metaphors and derives from historical experiences of secret police surveillance. Capture model is built upon linguistic metaphors and takes as its prototype the deliberate reorganization of industrial work activities to allow computers to track them [the work activities] in real time. Capture in comparison with surveillance is that linguistic metaphors (e.g., grammars of action),instrumentation and reorganization of existing activities, captured activity is assembled from standardized “parts” from an institutional setting, decentralized and heterogeneous organization and the driving aims are not necessarily political, but philosophical/market driven.
What is privacy? It is the quality or state of being apart from company or observation and the other is a place of seclusion. The connections between the public and the private are social, civil society and economic sphere.
If the digital media versus computer science what is the result? First, digital media studies are some architectures which are best designed to be inefficient. Computer science is efficiency that is almost always considered to be a virtue. Lessig on architecture however, by “architecture” Lessig means, more or less, what computer scientists mean when they say architecture: configuration/assemblages of hardware and software video.
Architecture of privacy is from doors, windows and fences. It is to wires, networks; wireless networks, databases and search engines.For example, the HTTP headers whiche is cookies are the examples of anti and monitoring architectural features of the web.
Descriptive and predictive are types of data mining. Descriptive is to compute a relatively concise, description of a large data set. Predictive is to predict unknown values for a variable for one or more known variables.
Data mining tasks are regression, classification, clustering, inference of associative rules and inference of sequential patterns. Regression is to infer a function that relates a known variable to an unknown variable. Classification is to given a set of categories and a datum, put it into the correct category. Clustering is to given a data set divide it into groups. Inference of sequential patterns is to given a set of series, determine which things often occur before others. Inference of associative rules is to given a set of sets, determine which subsets commonly occur together. Data mining is used for market research and other commercial purposes, science and intelligence gathering. Technologies and architectures are important influences on the production and change of private and public space but, they do not independently determine what is public and what is private (to think they do is called technological determinism). We need to understand not just the machines, but also the people mediated by these technologies: we need to understand the whole as a machination, a heterogeneous network of people and machines; thus Lessig’s mention (in addition to architecture) of laws, norms, and the market.

The summary for the week ( 30th April, 2nd May)

As I get the introduction to information technology class, I compare between the art and computer technology. After a computer is common to us, there are many relatives to us. I learned CSCW (computer supported cooperative work), every digital media technology has an architecture using diagrams to compare physical architectures with digital architecture, the surveillance model and Dr. Yoon mentioned again that technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships. He let us watched a movie which is Charlie Chaplin’s modern times.

What is the ethnomethodology? An ethnomethodology is that how people make sense of the social world. Ethnomethodologists assume that social order is illusory. They believe that social life merely appears to be orderly; in reality it is potentially chaotic. For them social order is constructed in the minds of social actors as society confronts the individual as a series of sense impressions and experiences which she or he must somehow organize into a coherent pattern.

I watched Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin. The movie represents the era of the beginning of the modern society. I think that the movie is related with CSCW (computer supported cooperative work) and it is a little bit humorous. So what is the CSCW? As I mentioned before, it is the cooperative working when we work by using computer and it is decide what to do. For example, there are Photoshop, illustration. These softwares are instead of us. It means that we can draw a straight line by using these tools and we do not need do whole part of working. There is CAD which is used to architecture. It is usable not only architecture but also products design. CAD is convenient to draft what you construct and design so numerous designers use CAD when they draw a plan to construct a building. Therefore, as we use the software which is like CAD, Adobe Photoshop, Illustration etc, we can make the relation with the topic that is mentioned before. The topic was that technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships.

The last topic is Agre’s surveillance model. Surveillance means that observing or concentrating to something or someone. We can us the surveillance model in now days. For instant, parents who send their childern to kidergarten, they can watch their children on the web because some kindergartens offer to see children by establishing web cam in the classroom. so they trust them and are able to concentrate on their work. Surveillance model is s a visual metaphors. It is assumed that watching is non-disruptive. Also it is territorial metaphors as in the invasion of private space. Surveillance model is identification with the state and malevolent aims of a specifically political nature.
I think that this week class has lots of connection with architecture. I become aware of the important of information technology because everything in our life is related to information technology.

The summary for the week ( 11th, April)

GPS separated its knowledge of problems from its strategy of how to solve problems : not real-world problems : Soar GPS as a “solution”: The General Problem Solver by Herbert Simon, Allen Newell, and Clifford TALESPIN as a “solution” FRUMP (Fast Reading, Understanding, and Memory Program) as a “solution" Alan Turing is founder of computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematician, philosopher, codebreaker, and a gay manAlan Turing (1912-1936)1912 (23 June): Birth, Paddington, London1926-31: Sherborne School1930: Death of friend Christopher Morcom 1931-34: Undergraduate at King's College, Cambridge University1932-35: Quantum mechanics, probability, logic1935: Elected fellow of King's College, Cambridge1936: The Turing machine, computability, universal machine1936-38: Princeton University. Ph.D. Logic, algebra, number theory1938-39: Return to Cambridge. Introduced to German Enigma cipher machine 1939-40: The Bombe, machine for Enigma decryption1939-42: Breaking of U-boat Enigma, saving battle of the Atlantic1943-45: Chief Anglo-American crypto consultant. Electronic work.1945: National Physical Laboratory, London1946: Computer and software design leading the world.
(1947-1954)1947-48: Programming, neural nets, and artificial intelligence1948: Manchester University Marvin Minsk said“... artificial intelligence [AI] is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence [as] if done by [humans]”
artificial intelligence: research areas are Knowledge Representation,Programming Languages,Natural Language (e.g., Story) Understanding ,Speech Understanding,Vision,Robotics ,Machine, Learning and Planning GPS is what is known in AI as a “planner.” (not global positioning system!!! it is a computer program for theorems proof, geometric problems and chess playing Newell, Alan, Shaw, J. C., and Simon, Herbert A. “GPS, A Program That Simulates Human Thought.” In Computers and Thought, ed. Edward A. Feigenbaum and Julian Feldman. pp. 279-293. New York, 1963 .To work, GPS required that a full and accurate model of the “state of the world” (i.e., insofar as one can even talk of a “world” of logic or cryptoarthimetic, two of the domains in which GPS solved problems) be encoded and then updated after any action was taken (e.g., after a step was added to the proof of a theorem).
I never thought that A.I is the abbreviated from artificial intelligence. I am really surprised that artificial intelligence is related with social network as technology. so I know that technologies are related with everything.
