Casey Allred: How Tech is Disrupting Human Trafficking
source: GoogleTechTalks 2016年4月14日
Google Tech Talk, 4/12/16, Presented by Casey Allred
ABSTRACT: Casey Allred visited Google headquarters in Mountain View to address the important topic of Human Trafficking, and how technology is disrupting the global problem. Human Trafficking is a $31 billion global criminal industry, just behind the $32 billion drug trafficking industry and is set to surpass it quickly. The official numbers unfortunately do not represent reality, and it's not a topic of international concern in appropriate proportion to the number of women, men, and children that if affects. Casey introduces and gives context of human trafficking in Nepal and India, and his work producing the documentary film "Stolen Innocence." As a Bay Area-based NonProfit, Casey has been finding ways to use technology to help organizations on the ground abroad do important work in preventing and fighting human trafficking.

Didier Faustino, "Building Intimacy"
source: Harvard GSD 2016年4月13日
4/11/16
For Didier Faustino, the process of the architect, artist, or designer must preserve an engagement with political, social, and cultural issues. Since founding his Bureau des Mésarchitectures in 2002, Faustino has developed an expressive multidisciplinary practice in art and architecture that highlights the complex relationship between the body and the spaces it inhabits. By challenging the boundaries of these spaces, his work explores the precarious equilibrium between public and private space, publicity and intimacy. His lecture will feature ten projects chosen to make explicit the issues on which he focuses in his practice; these projects include his “under construction” building in Mexico and the project Alumnos 47, with which he will explain his method of “building intimacy.” Faustino’s work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions and has received several prizes, including the Académie d’Architecture’s Dejean prize for lifetime achievement in 2010. He currently divides his time among architecture (in Spain, Mexico City, Portugal), art (with exhibitions in Grenoble, London, and Rome), and teaching (AA School, Diploma Unit 2); and he is also editor-in-chief of the French architecture and design magazine CREE.

When you think of the US Constitution, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Free speech? The right to bear arms? These passages are cited so often that it's hard to imagine the document without them. But the list of freedoms known as the Bill of Rights was not in the original text and wasn't added for three years. Why not? James Coll goes back to the origins of the Constitution to find out.

From the Interactive Media & Games Seminar Series; Lining Yao, a PhD Candidate at Tangible Media Group, MIT Media Lab discusses how Technology, is designed to recapitulate biology. As we strive to design physical objects and architecture that are adaptive, responsive and ever evolving, we find ourselves immersed in Nature’s way. Yet, after years of practice in transforming materiality for adaptive physical interfaces, we realize that it is the combination of the two worldviews — both natural and engineering approaches — that generates a method including their best facets: adaptation with speed, transformation with accuracy, growth with control and response with augmented purposes.
