Part 1: “By nature, the architecture of visual and digital surveillance is a black-box.” On #DarkPatterns, FB’s privacy policy, true confessions of SalesForce workers, privacy’s gender bias, and potential abuse of #aadhaar biometric data.
From #DarkData

Part 2. “If the 20th Century was the fossil fuel era, the 21st century is the era of data; data has replaced oil as the commodity that drives the economy.” On visualizing cookies, the digital afterlife, being extremely online, and surrendering to Google.

Part 3: “Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.” - George Orwell, 1984
On the quantified self, the body, the city, the dispossession, and the byproducts of the new machine vision. From #DarkData

Only one of the pieces in the collection references Cambridge Analytica. It’s incredible research into vulnerabilities in India’s #Aadhar biometric identity. But it’s actually from last year’s semester. The student was living through the global scandal.

One of my students from China used the GDPR to request his personal data from Apple. He made an art project out of it. That’s what we can do in a class like #DarkData at @parsonsdesign @thenewschool

One of the best parts of having students from China is having their perspective on their surveillance state. When we debate the issues we come to realize that “the West” is not so different when it comes to surveillance. Except that we try to hide it. mfadt.parsons.edu/darkdata/surve…
I’m old enough to remember when students would remind me of the digital avant garde thriving in the early 2000s. When they do it is glorious. #DarkData mfadt.parsons.edu/darkdata/socia…
