This position paper on Indigenous Protocol (IP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a starting place for those who want to design create AI from an ethical that centers concerns. Each community will have its own particular approach the questions we raise in what follows. What written here not substitute establishing maintaining relationships of reciprocal care support with specific communities. Rather, this document offers range ideas take into consideration when entering conversations which...
Regioregular (RR) conjugated polymers are critical for electronic and optoelectronic properties of polymer based semiconducting devices. Monosubstituted polythienylvinylene (PTV), a relatively low band-gap polymer, has been reportedly synthesized using the Stille coupling reaction between 3-dodecyl-2,5-dibromothiophene (E)-1,2-bis(tributylstannyl)ethylene. Although small fraction product shows good (∼90%) regioregularity, whole (S-C12-PTV) consists mostly unidentified structures. To gain...
The current trajectory of artificial intelligence development suffers from fundamental epistemological shortcomings, resulting in the systematic operationalization bias against non-white, non-male, and non-Western peoples. We argue that these failings are, part, result certain Western rationalist epistemologies exclude many ways knowing about world, therefore they cannot provide a sufficient foundation on which to adequately, robustly, humanely conceptualize intelligence. present new...
Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace (AbTeC) conducted the Skins workshop to explore a pedagogy that integrated North American Indigenous cultural frameworks into design of video games and virtual environments. provides instruction digital design, art, animation, audio programming within context stories storytelling techniques. In pilot with Mohawk youth at Kahnawake Survival School, students developed interactive environments based on traditional from their community process required them...
This paper describes ActiveText, a method for creating dynamic and interactive texts. ActiveText uses an object-based hierarchy to represent makes it easy work with the ASCII component pixel of text at same time. Static, properties can be easily intermixed layered. The user enter edit text, adjust static layout, apply behaviors, their parameters common set tools interface. Support continuous editing allows sketch dynamically. A prototype application called It's Alive! has been implemented...
Writing practices that integrate dynamic and interactive strategies into the making reading of digital texts are proliferating as more our experiences mediated through screen. We argue rarely do current approaches to creating operate at basic textual level letterform itself, this neglect is partially due fact font technology based on print paradigms make it difficult work programmatically individual letters. Work produced in lab suggests creative possibilities being able easily specify...
We started reading science fiction as teenagers. fell in love with the fantastic worlds, strange societies, alien cultures and amazing technologies. As we got older, though, began to notice lack of Native people those futures. In fact, there were barely any nonwhite at all.
Community + Culture features practitioner perspectives on designing technologies for and with communities. We highlight compelling projects provocative points of view that speak to both community technology practice the interaction design field as a whole. Tad Hirsch, Editor
