Class notes

Hot glue:
- Schrap patches - your webpage doesn’t need to look like a newspaper - hot glue can make it look like your way - freehand composition - transparent interface - Simplistic setup - free and open - text picture video’s
- Place for research and production process
- You can use hot glue also as portfolio
- First you have to registration - you have to activate with your email
- Website / edit is edit mode
- 1 klick menu - 2 klicks advents menu
- Get the right size of your image because there is a limited amount of space (mb)
- When your busy with your edit mode open also a viewing mode that makes it easy
- If you can’t drop your video refresh your page
- Link pages – make a menu – turn it into a button – square with arrow – copy the link without the edit – now you made a hyper link.

Introduction mapping:
- Mapping the surrounding
- Documentation and speculating between things
- The maps tell you something about the map maker and the knowledge they have
- Everything outside the map is just as important as what's on the map
- Sometimes you have to turn a map
- Mapping the imaginary
- Way of thinking - norms and values – good and bad - heaven and hell – how is the - universe constructed
- Mapping as (re)imagining
- Tel your story thru a drawing
- Mapping the body as your work on your map you generate knowledge

The (human) body:
- How did the homo sapiens start in there days?
- Where we farmers ore hunters that’s what we can see if we look at the body’s
- Different religious - economics - politics – society – how to look nice – diet – sport – schooling – action – work – situation – house
- How have we been training our body’s and mind
- We have gone so for with our passion to mapping the body that we can even make x-rays
- Charlie Chaplin inspiration
- The revolution changes our life and body’s
- In sports is a big difference between women and men
- The ways we behave, and move have also changed

Notes by Monique Hanse

15 April 2020 - Podcast notes; Decolonization as care

- The ways one approaches oneself and others, changes with time and experience.
- Recognizing systems, these systems have an impact on our bodies and identities and continue to affect our work.
- In a broad sense, culture is everywhere; it is part of the way we walk, talk, move through space, the languages we speak, the values we have, the ways we think of ourselves, how we think of the world, et. Cetera.
- If culture is fluid and changing, then it can be changed. And change can be quite simple. In the world of right-handed desks in schools, a decolonized pedagogy and care would mean that as an educator, you might think about a lefthanded person and request left-handed desks to be brought into your classroom. That realization is a small gesture that has huge implications for the ways in which the material culture of schools can be changed. A key tenet of decolonization has to also include a sense of intersectionality.
- So once you recognize the inequity, and trace how your own body is being disciplined and kept in a certain place, you can begin to think through how you might design intervention, as a creator of cultural material.
- I traverse time and pace in an effort to understand humanity in the past through identity. Identity becomes more of a self of relations between me and time, me and the pot, me and the soil I am working my fingers through to understand where the pot might be. Every time I touch or excavate the soil, it gives me its own answers; it talks to me through its own composition. Those relationships help me think through how I interpret the past.
- In the same way that I hope we would respect and consider all human individuals, I would respect and consider the ancient ceramics that I am working with; to consider them not just as vessels to be used by humans, but as vessels unto themselves, having certain material capacities. They have their own potential and kinetic energy, their own texture, their own feel; there is so much to them that goes beyond what we ascribe to them.
- Similarly, if I consider different languages, there are different ways of conceiving of the self and identity. Each of these differences creates different epistemologies, histories, and notions of time.
- In our contemporary moment, we have lost the ability to take time out to think, to write, to draw, to wonder, to let our curiosity dictate a research pattern.
- A radical change in praxis does not always mean a dramatic and drastic change.

20 April 2020 - Notes of the three videos

- The moment and place of knowing requires a certain slowness to enter into our thoughts, movements and research.
- The act of research becomes praxis through which critical awareness of one’s own condition and the condition of others comes into high relief.
- Intersectionality allows us to occupy that praxis and standpoint critically
- It is not a new idea to acknowledge that our vectors of identity race, class, ethnicity,gender,body, et cetera inform how we experience and consider the world.
- That conceptual shift allows one to consider praxis as particular to one’s embodied standpoint, – there is no way for me, you, us to step outside of my, your, our body, bodies to create anything.
- The women who is telling the story was told by teachers to color in bodies as ‘peach’ because that was the norm in the 1970s, in the United States. But her body was not peach. She had to make herself into something she was not, and it became clear to her that she was not the ‘norm’ in the world of crayons.
- Such an approach allows one to look not only at the praxis, but at the pathways and research material to create something: whether that is writing a course syllabus or a book, or reconstructing a history.
- Culture is everywhere it is part of the way we walk, talk, language, the way we think about our self and others et cetera.
- The culture of school can be changed by a left-handed table and boy and girl toilets.
- We feel trapped by the system, but we keep the system going.
- Objectivity requires us to remove subjectivity from material things.
- Self-recognition, knowledge, and reclamation are at the heart of how one might methodologically approach intersectionality in praxis, and this is really where care is paramount.
- More and more we are propelled into a system that requires all labor to produce at breakneck speed
- All human needs: food, sleep, air, love, et cetera.
- A radical change in praxis does not always mean a dramatic and drastic change. Sometimes the self-awareness may result in a small material or spatial shift
- Once we recognize ourselves, we begin to recognize our positions, and how our positions may be at the expense of others, be those others human or nonhuman.
- We might recognize decolonization as care.

20 April 2020 - Notes of the three videos

Hot glue:
- Easy to create websites. You can place photos and texts anywhere you want.
- If you made a page and you want to edit it you need to add the word edit behind the web name. And if you delete the word edit you can see how it looks.
- 1 click on the new empty website you get a menu to add texts. Images, video’s and other websites.
- By placing a picture in you get 2 new menu’s one is horizontal and one is vertical. Here you can scale and copy the the picture for example. But you can also take it to the background.
- 2 clicks, you get a lager menu with multiple choices about the layout of your website.
- For more tutorials see hot glue.me.

Introduction mapping:
- Mapping is method to categorize and also generate knowledge.
- In working as practice we work with documenting, creating and speculating between things.
- Look what is written in the middle and on the outside?
- You can also create a map like a body that other people indicate things on. Like traumas.

The (humans) body:
- What is your idea of the humans pieces, have you been raced on the idea that the body, mind and spirit our sole are separate or former-unite?
- Homo sapiens: there are a lot of illustrations of the history.
- There are many ways the body has been represented, the body and his parts. Like the book of life.. where the presentation is not only physical but also the inner parts of the human being.
- Chalie Chaplin: Shows how the industrial revolution transformed the every day life.

21 April 2020 - Notes Javier Lloret Pardo

- Biometrics: the measurement and analysis of unique physical or behavioral characteristics (such as fingerprint or voice patterns) especially as a means of verifying personal identity.
- Alphonse Bertillon; is the founder of the mug shots (1888).
- Bertillonage; so you can identify a person. With these detail shots of them.
- Anthropometry; the study of human body measurements. He used body measurements by identifying criminal.
- Detecting bodies; Computer vision tasks include methods for acquiring, processing, analyzing and understanding digital images. For example; detect an object with a camera, who can see which are people.
- Pose detection; to identify the pose of the human body. Since 2010 it became a simple task and for example knit sports of xbox uses it, to identify the body parts and background. But the Kinect hacked in 2010, it took a few days to be hacked. Because of this they made a program to see the 3d shapes and designers also used it to make art.
- Computer vision + deep learning; systems that are able to learn from a large amount of data. Deep learning has a huge impact on computer vision. Because now it is possible to do it with any webcame.
- PoseNet (2017); is a library for real-time multi-person detection. It allows for real-time human pose estimation in the browser.
- Bodies in the assembly line, Chronocyclegraph; A technique was developed by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth in the early 20the century to improve work methods. The employed time-lapse photography to reduce a complete work cycle to the shortest and most efficient sequence of gestures.
- Face recognizing; they only need 26 x 26 pixel for Face Recognition.
- Adam Harvey - cv Dazzle. Did a project about face recognizing, he made a mask you can where so it will not recognize you. He even made abstract forms the face recognized faces in but there where no faces.
- Disruptive bodies; two flash mops. One with mannequin and wearing the same blue shirts as the employs.
- Graphcommons.com; there you can make a kind of map by connect words to each other.

22 April 2020 - video Maps and starting to map

Maps and how to start mapping

Mapping with pictogram
Mapping with photography: light
Full filling map: names - rules - places - spaces
Atlas: people – flora – food – spaces – water (you can make a number of maps)
Underground map: metro – movement of one person
Interactive map: gun type - race - sex - age group - region - time

Map process
Sketchboard.me

- 1581 map by an unknown artist, titled Tetliztaca, Mexico. Churches with many plants.
- Chronocyclograph. Mapping with photography.
- Map van een Duits eiland, every space in the map has names, locations, activities, sports, ideas, rules.
- Alternative mapping, atlas. Of Israel, people, food, spaces etc. for if you have to much information you can make a few different maps.
- Mychael Barratt, London underground. How to add different types of illustrations. How people can travel around. This is with the metro. But you can also show how people travel around in a house.
- U.S gun killed. Here it shows how many people are killend with which age. And the stolen years of them.
- Map process in a graph; You can use sketchboard.me. on the right is the menu to navigate. With a few icons to make a map.

- For you own map:
1. take keywords out of the texts you read.
2. What do you want to represent?
3. Do you have a goal?
4. What type of map, collective body mapping, allegorical or speculative.
5. Team work: make decisions based on: skills, likes, tasks, agendas.
6. Research: collect data online, personal experience around you, set up an open call (social media).
- If you want to ask participants you need to make facilitate open questions, ask for example to make body drawings. You can add all these data in you own map.
- From the research you can select keywords, names, feelings, body parts, institutions and spaces.
- After this you can see if there are relationships. Then you need to sketch/organize your map. So you have something to discus.

7. Choose your tools. What fits you thoughts?
Teams: Add a channel with your team. At description you place the names. You can choose people who can see it.

23 April 2020 - Notes Javier Lloret Pardo

- Algorithm
You put it in to a machine
Social media platforms they scan the images
How performs a computer how do they run software (algorithm)
Food recipes is a good example of a algorithm. There is a lot of text and you only have to follow the steps.

- Machine learning
Set of Technik’s that a loud the computer to learn from data.
Machine learning methods include among others, neutral networks.
Neutral networks are computing systems initially inspired by the biological neutral networks that constitute the brain.

- Supervised learning
We do need data that are manual collected (not automatic)
Image dataset is what we need for supervised learning
You have to label the image to a word or number (pixel)
2 dimensional

- Teachable Machine
https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/

- ImageNet - Labeling
- Princeton undergrads
- The process eventually scaled up with the help of annotators crowdsourced on amazon’s Mechanical Turk (850,000 workers who evaluated 160 million candidate image)
- what do you want to categorize (skin color)
- you don’t describe how they are, but you judge them who they are

Hidden humans in machine learning
- Essay of Kate Crawford and Trevor Paglen.
- Algorithms; A sequence of actions with the intention of solving a specific problem/task.
- How does a computer performs a given task? Hardware & software.
- Rule-based systems vs machine learning (refers to a broad set of techniques which allow computers to learn form data) Machine learning methods include Among others, neural networks (artificial); are computing systems initially inspired by the biological neutral networks that constitute the brain.
- Supervised learning: image recognition. They need a label to let the computer know what it is and to categorize them.
- If you need to fit this in neutral network, where gone have 28 x 28 = 278. Nurrows in the first layer. So you train the neutral network. Because you label it it knows how to categorize it.
- Imagenet; larges image net. You need to label the image’s. They used Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (850.000 workers who evaluated 160 million candidate images)
- Hidden humans in machine learning; otherwise the machine can’t recognize anything.
- Imagenet used wordnet (is database of word classifications developed at Princeton University in the 1980s. Each sunset represents a distinct concept, with synonyms grouped together.
- There is also ImageNet Roulette; here you can make a picture of yourself and see in which category you belong.
- ImageNet; so far out of 2,832 sunsets within the person subtree we’ve identified 1,593 unsafe synsets (including offensive and sensitive). The remaining 1,239 synsets are temporarily deemed ‘safe’.
