Idea: Creating Audio Thumbnails for a medium, e.g. Youtube, with 1-sec clips cut from top-ten in "Trending" every day for 7 days, inspiration from "Unerasable Images" b. W.Soon, with change pr. day

Picture: "Storyboard" - what the visual will look like, with the visual thumbnails blacked out

The group decided to take an individual "selfie" of optional bodypart, and then afterwards combine the photos - the uncoordinated selfies didn't exactly fit a human, three hands etc. but the outcome still somewhat resembled a human avatar

Work in Progress/Sketches 
The Video features the original YouTube interface, in the "trending" page, but with the actual image-thumbnails blocked by a grey box. The video will then run down the page, playing 1 second clips from each video - that way you "hear" a preview for each video]]> 2018-10-05 09:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mettewunz/zqbmt68ef3gg/wish/289509822 mettewunz https://padlet.com/mettewunz/zqbmt68ef3gg/wish/289511168 Group 5: Sound of YouTube

Link to the clip

Documentary Statement:

In a world where the importance of the visual components of a particular product is directly linked to the consumption or “clickability” for the consumer, the thumbnail of a YouTube video is the first encounter the user experiences with a particular video. We wanted to explore how a thumbnail might appear in audio form, instead of visual form. We produced a short video that shows a user browsing the YouTube trending page, but instead of getting a visual thumbnail that showcases the content of the particular video, a short audio sequence is heard as the user hovers the cursor above the video title, giving some indication of what the video might contain. However, the user has no idea from what part of the video the audio clip is taken from, nor if the audio clip even is from that particular video, mirroring the use of visual thumbnails, that occurs on YouTube, that has been curated or created to make the video clickable. More so, the audio sequences that occurs when the user is browsing the page, creates a larger audio clip, so that the videos on the site creates an audio image, that changes depending on what videos are on the “list” the user is browsing. If the user is browsing the trending page on YouTube, the audio image that is created will change everyday, or when the videos on the trending page changes. The audio thumbnail thereby manages to create a link between videos that usually has nothing to do with each other, besides the list they appear on.]]> 2018-10-05 09:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mettewunz/zqbmt68ef3gg/wish/289512634 mettewunz https://padlet.com/mettewunz/zqbmt68ef3gg/wish/289513597 Reflection on documentary project about sound thumbnails on YouTube

In the piece Delete?No, Wait!Rewind, erasure is the consequence of the participation of the audience, and ultimately left to the morals of the spectator. On big screens, data, objects, files and images are recovered from old hard drives, without the consent of the previous owners, a possible nightmare for many  of us having private information put on public display without our knowledge – and this doesn’t need to be files that are incriminating in any way, but a stupid selfie with an aquarium imposed background from my first laptop being shown in this way would make me so uncomfortable. With GPDR, this kind of unauthorized usage of private files thought to have been deleted is hard to imagine being allowed, but artists are often found to be provoked about what isn’t allowed and find their ways to do it. 
The practice of erasure in this context, is left to the audience. There are only two responses, publish it online or delete it forever. If there were a third option, leave it how you found it, it would be interesting to see if this would be the choice of default. Because as spectators, we are used to passively criticizing and participating, and the choices presented in this installation are very abrupt. You either need to use destructive force to delete the files forever, or to risk putting someone in an uncomfortable position by having it published online. 

(Personally I think I would choose the delete function every time, both for ethical reasons but also because it was the purpose of those files. Someone already chose to delete them, we don’t know their reasons but they were intended to cease to exist, and it seems rude to do anything else to them. Unless of course I came upon something really funny.)

Where the Anatomy of an AI has a socio-economic perspective, taking into account the physical aspects of production, costs (also environmentally) and labour, the other texts focus on different types of value of human variables and the more technical mechanisms of Machine Learning and AI. In the poster, this is supposed to be illustrated by different part of the human aspects being linked together, to persondata, simulations of human behaviour and the complications of data visualisation of Machine Learning]]> 2018-11-08 07:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mettewunz/zqbmt68ef3gg/wish/301914097 mettewunz https://padlet.com/mettewunz/zqbmt68ef3gg/wish/301949703 Notes from the Fishbowl Discussion

Ideal web serves all people
Great thinking - But How would it work, open source How does it Secure equal Rights?
Anonymous - legal consequenses? 
Ideal web - But for whom? 
Capitalist vs. Open sourced search engine, unfair that capitalist influence society
Ranking system 
Is google a commodity

Money, besides from power -  also structure
Safiya - presenning a one-sided argument
Important point about How the internet didn’t become, What had been promised, a freeing democratic space
See the bad sites of humanity - becomes more apparent/accessible

Obfuscation online - anonymous vs. Personalized, general opinion? Or narrowing resultat, from algorithms
Fewer results, some of the more popular But not High quality
Youtube - heavily recommending/limiting 
Russian hardbase? 
Limiting surveillance? Commercialized and sold - not a person surveilling your every move, But a cookie collecting datapoints 
Profile - certain type of people who seek anonymity, so instead of being an individual you are identified through “the group”
Zetland - shows you the reasoning behind your recommendations
