SUMMARY:TMI Talk: GPS for the Brain: Networks\, Urbanisms\, Algorithms
DESCRIPTION:Laura Kurgan will talk about her recent work involving network science and urban theory. She will present work from the Center for Spatial Research on the Urban History of Algorithms: Homophily and Weak Ties\, a history which not surprisingly lies dormant in its use in network science. She will also present new work on navigation theory in neuroscience\, which revisits and asks questions about the canonical urban theory of Kevin Lynch (1970) and Fred Jameson’s Postmodernism and the Logic of Late Capitalism (1990). Audience Q&A will follow. \nLaura Kurgan is a Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation at Columbia University\, where she directs the Masters of Science in Computational Design Practices and the Center for Spatial Research (CSR). She is the author of Close Up at a Distance: Mapping\, Technology\, and Politics (2013) and co-editor of Ways of Knowing Cities (2019). \nKurgan’s work explores the ethics and politics of digital mapping and its technologies; the art\, science\, and visualization of big and small data; and design environments for public engagement with maps and data. Her work has been exhibited internationally\, most recently Chicago Architecture Biennial (2019)\, at the Biennale Architettura di Venezia 2018\, and at the Palais De Tokyo in Paris (2016). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Too Much Information series and the Sara Miller McCune and George D. McCune Endowment \nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \nImage courtesy of the Center for Spatial Research\, from Homophily\, the Urban History of an Algorithm

SUMMARY:TMI Talk: Creating\, Weaponizing\, and Detecting Deep Fakes
DESCRIPTION:Although varied in their form and creation\, deep fakes refer to AI-synthesized image\, audio\, or video. Deep fakes add to a long line of techniques for manipulating reality\, but their introduction poses new risks because of the democratized access to what would have historically been the purview of Hollywood-style studios. In this talk\, Farid will provide an overview of how deep fakes are created\, how they are being used and misused\, and if and how they can be perceptually and forensically distinguished from reality. Audience Q&A will follow. \nHany Farid is a Professor at the University of California\, Berkeley with a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences and the School of Information. His research focuses on digital forensics\, forensic science\, misinformation\, image analysis\, and human perception. He is the recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship and is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Too Much Information series and the IHC Idee Levitan Endowment  \nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \n
