Networked-Everything && Sensing-Everywhere
Day by day, we encounter more and more things with power cables and batteries, sensors and central processors, unique identifiers and network connectivity. This course critically and speculatively investigates new and emerging paradigms of interactive sensing and networked technologies. Focusing on social and ethical design issues—such as trust, bias, privacy, and transparency—this course combines seminar readings and discussion with studio-based design activities and projects. Through a combination of readings and hands-on demonstrations, we will study concrete network and sensing technologies, such a facial recognition systems, brain-computer interfaces, activity trackers, and smart home surveillance cameras. Course projects involve hybrid writing-making projects. This course will also present training and opportunities for students to publish and exhibit design research to audiences in academia and industry.
