Sarah Garlick: "Wild Stone: Climbing the unclimbed, from the Arctic to Arabia"

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:02:52 GMT

JAN 31, 2012 Sarah Garlick: "Wild Stone: Climbing the unclimbed, from the Arctic to Arabia," With professional photography, audio clips, and short videos, Garlick tells stories from her latest two expeditions: a journey to the granite big walls of South Greenland, and an exploration of the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan. Garlick's presentation focuses on the common core of both expeditions: a quest to find—and climb—untouched cliffs in some of the world's wildest locations. Garlick talks about what it takes to be an expedition climber in the modern era, from discovering an objective and putting together a team, to the inevitable ups and downs of the journey itself. Wild Stone shares stories and images of Garlick';s 2010 expedition to Greenland, where she and her three teammates established a new, 2,000-foot free route up a remote granite wall. This expedition was supported by the prestigious Copp-Dash Inspire Award. The presentation also premiers new photography and video footage from an expedition to the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan last winter, where Garlick and fellow climber Caroline George established a new sandstone adventure route called Uprising (5.11).

Harold "Doc" Edgerton--How Fast Is Fast?

Thu, 10 Feb 2011 21:49:28 GMT

Called "the man who made time stand still," MIT Professor Harold "Doc" Edgerton delighted and amazed the world by retooling an obscure laboratory instrument and producing photographs that no one had ever seen before. Using a stroboscope, Edgerton captured moments in time that were too fast to be seen by the naked eye--the shattering of a light bulb, hummingbirds in flight, a drop of milk falling into liquid. Learn more about MIT's popular professor by watching this excerpt from the 1994 film How Fast is Fast?. Produced by MIT Video Productions for the Edgerton Foundation, the film showcases the motivations behind this remarkable engineer/educator as well as the novelty and beauty of his photography.

Civic Media and the Law

Thu, 04 Nov 2010 04:00:00 GMT

11/04/2010
5:00 PM
E14-633

Micah Sifry, Founder, Editor, Personal Democracy Forum; Daniel Schuman, Policy Counsel, Sunlight Foundation; David Ardia, Fellow, Berkman Center

Description: While these panelists diverge on the precise metaphor -- 'picking through a minefield,' 'hacking through the underbrush,' 'navigating uncharted waters' -- they all agree that the web poses novel dilemmas and hazards for truth"seeking and speaking citizens.

First the good news: "There was a conscious decision by Congress to give online space some breathing room," says David Ardia, shielding website operators "who allow others to use their site to speak out" from liability for some published content. This has permitted the explosive rise of YouTube and blogging services that serve as platforms for the masses. On the other hand, copyright and other legal claims are being successfully prosecuted against website hosts and posters.

Ardia worries about the underreported phenomenon of citizen journalists who post on the web and find themselves "fighting an authority." There is "an extensive chilling effect," says Ardia "If you discover information that shows government corruption or puts powerful institutions on the defensive, you run the real risk of having them lawyer up, come after you, or put you in a position where you can't afford to stand up for your rights."

Another emerging issue: When web content is construed as invading privacy, legal suits arise that lead to a delicate dance between free speech and privacy. "Horrible things are said and done through the internet," says Ardia, "but overall the impact is far more beneficial than harmful. As we start to fix instances of bad conduct, we run a great riskof correcting one thing, but at the cost ofspeech that should be protected."

While the Obama Administration has pledged to make government more transparent, there is wild inconsistency in how federal, state and local governments make their work available. Daniel Schuman describes how some public authorities offer "giant data sets" lacking the kind of sophisticated formats that enable fruitful vetting. Congress members must post an earmarks request online, but Schuman says, "If you want to find it, good luck." And in certain areas, there is no web data at all: For access to congressional ethics information, someone must visit Capitol Hill in person at the right time, and copy pertinent pages. Schuman researched a "fantastic, sortable, downloadable" database describing the disbursement of Wall Street bailout money. The drawback: license provisions that permit the database owner "to pull back" the information, posing a major "impediment to people who want to use this information to talk about what's going on."

Another problem involves credentialing of online journalists. "Members of the civic media simply can't get in the door" of press galleries in some House and Committee meetings, and forget recording Supreme Court justices by cellphone or other electronic devices. "As a private citizen, it's hard and expensive to push back," says Schuman. The Wikileaks disclosures are shaking up discussions of government transparency as well as those about online freedoms. Says Schuman, "It makes the political climate more difficult. Irresponsible journalism will need to be protected, and condemned when done in this kind of way." Moderator Micah Sifry sees an overreaction: "Leaks happen every day in Washington; secret information is out there all the timeNo one is prosecuted. It's the currency of information there." Ultimately, says Ardia, we want to "bring information together in a way that moves us from a glut of data to real knowledge, and hopefully to wisdom, to make better decisions as a society. We are moving in that direction. I'm optimistic."

About the Speaker(s): Micah L. Sifry launched Personal Democracy Forum, a daily website and annual conference on how technology is changing politics. He is also the editor of the group blog TechPresident, which focuses on how campaigns use the web.

Sifry also consults on how political organizations, campaigns, non"profits and media entities can adapt to and thrive in a networked world. Current clients include the Sunlight Foundation, the Campaign for America's Future, and Air America.

From 1997 to 2006, he worked closely with Public Campaign, a non"profit, non"partisan organization focused on comprehensive campaign finance reform, as its senior analyst. Prior to that, Sifry was an editor and writer with The Nation magazine for 13 years.

He is the author or editor of four books, including Is That a Politician in Your Pocket? (John Wiley & Sons, 2004), written with Nancy Watzman. He is also an adjunct professor of political science at City University of New York/Graduate Center.

How to Read 1,000,000 Manga Pages: Visualizing Patterns in Games, Comics, Art, Cinema, Animation, TV, and Print Media

Fri, 21 May 2010 04:00:00 GMT

05/21/2010 6:45 PM e14"638Lev Manovich, Professor, Visual Arts, University of California, San Diego; ; Director, Software Studies Initiative, California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2); Description: In his introduction, moderator Ian Condry advocates utilizing the expertise and innovation of all disciplines in order to best explore new directions in the humanities. He suggests that the challenge of discovery may ultimately be useful as theoretical exploration, which incorporates the transformative power of art as well. What would it mean, Lev Manovich asks, to "be stupid?" That is, what would it mean to take risks and start creating artifacts, interpretations and analysis that reach beyond language? To begin analyzing patterns in massive cultural data sets, Manovich uses computer"based techniques, already commonly employed in the sciences, for quantitative analysis and interactive visualization. "An image is worth thousand words. An interface is worth a thousand images. Why not have both?" he asks. Manovich sorts visual media analysis into one of two categories: 'direct visualization' and 'visualization without quantification." In the first technique, images are manipulated to produce new images, which reveal patterns. The image grid made up of thousands of Time magazine covers reveals a gradual evolution in the design and content of the magazine: black & white imagery doesn't become color immediately; there is a gradual shift. Waves of color are apparent over time, as are patterns of cultural content. Manovich demonstrates the 'visualization without quantification' technique by using the same data set (Time covers), but visualizing contrast & saturation. In contrast to 'direct visualization,' this technique "allows you to see the variability of cultural data. We get this wonderful cloud of history," he explains. Manovich introduces cultural analytics as interpreted on the HIPerSpace Wall (Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Wall) at Calit2, a high"capacity tool generally used for earth science research. The demonstration explores a set of more than 150 Mark Rothko paintings. "Graphs developed from features of paintings _ texture, brightness, number of shapes, saturation _ can be used to explore trends in this painter's life and work." Finally, Manovich looks at a dataset of a million pages of manga represented in a scatterplot matrix; a "manga universe." The position of each page is determined by level of contrast (on the x axis) and level of grayscale (on the y axis). Visualizations such as this provide a unique way of describing culture in all its complexity and variability. He concludes with his hope that visualization will continue to emerge as a source of new and powerful questions leading to more revealing interpretations of culture. About the Speaker(s): Born in Moscow, Lev Manovich studied fine arts and architecture before moving to New York in 1981. He began working in computer animation in 1984 at Digital Effects, one of the first commercial companies devoted to producing 3D animation for television and film and has worked with computer media as an artist, computer animator, designer, and programmer since that time. In 2007 Manovich founded the Software Studies Initiative in order to facilitate work in the emerging field of software studies. The lab, housed within the UC San Diego division of the California Institute for Telecommunication and Information Technology (Calit2) and the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA), is focused on projects in cultural analytics (data mining and visualization of patterns in large cultural data sets) and game studies. Manovich's best"known book is The Language of New Media, which has been widely reviewed and translated. His awards include Mellon Fellowship and Guggenheim Fellowship (2002"2003). Manovich as an MA degree in Experimental Psychology from NYU, (1988), and PhD in Visual and Cultural Studies from the University of Rochester (1993).

Final Journey to the Hubble Space Telescope

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:00:00 GMT

10/28/2009 4:00 PM Killian Hall 14W"111Mike Massimino, SM'88, ME'90, PHD,92Description: Astronaut Mike Massimino returns to MIT and shares his experience on the Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS"125). Topics include the challenges of space walking while repairing the Hubble, having the right tools on hand for high stakes repairs, and the long hours of practice that lead up to the task. As the first astronaut to Twitter from space, Massimino provides funny, personal and insightful anecdotes from the mission including the competition amongst his team to be the last human to touch the Hubble. Accompanying Massimino on the mission was a rare book loaned from the MIT Libraries' collections. The book, a limited edition facsimile of Galileo's landmark publication "Sidereius Nuncius" (Starry Messenger), was chosen to coincide with the 400th anniversary of Galileo's astronomical research, the first recorded planetary observations using a telescope. He presents the well"traveled book to MIT Libraries Director Ann Wolpert. She happily accepts the undamaged book and waives any late fees no. The book traveled 5.3 million miles, making 197 orbits of the earth. It is now on display in an exhibit at the MIT Science Library. About the Speaker(s): Upon completing his B.S. degree from Columbia University, Mike worked for IBM as a systems engineer. In 1986 he entered graduate school at the MIT where he conducted research on human operator control of space robotics systems in the MIT Mechanical Engineering Department's Human"Machine Systems Laboratory. His work resulted in the awarding of two patents. After graduating from MIT in 1992, Mike worked at McDonnell Douglas Aerospace in Houston, Texas as a research engineer where he developed laptop computer displays to assist operators of the Space Shuttle remote manipulator system. He is currently an adjunct professor at Rice University and at Georgia Tech. Selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in1996, and reported to the Johnson Space Center in August 1996. He completed two years of initial training and evaluation and is qualified for flight assignment as a mission specialist. Prior to his first space flight assignment, Mike served in the Astronaut Office Robotics Branch, and in the Astronaut Office Extravehicular Activity (EVA or spacewalking) Branch. In 2002, following his first spaceflight, Mike served as a CAPCOM (spacecraft communicator) in Mission Control and as the Astronaut Office Technical Liaison to the Johnson Space Center EVA Program Office. A veteran of two space flights, (STS"109 in March 2002 and STS"125 in May 2009) Massimino has logged a total of 571 hours and 47 minutes in space, and a cumulative total of 30 hours and 4 minutes of spacewalking in four spacewalks. In addition to various technical tasks, Massimino also serves as Chief of the Astronaut Appearances Office. Host(s): Office of the Provost, MIT Libraries
