Indigenous Approaches to Conflict: From Conquest to COVID-19

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021) Callahan, Courtney

With more than 25.7 million people that identify as indigenous, Mexico has the largest indigenous population on the American continent (Banco Mundial 2020). Seventy-eight indigenous groups with eighty-nine languages are officially recognized in Mexico (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía). Despite the enormous diversity that exists between the groups’ cultural behaviors, rituals, and languages, many basic similarities exist among their fundamental belief system. Since the Spanish conquest of Mexico, indigenous groups have faced many unique challenges and disadvantages. For many years, indigenous groups have fought to preserve their culture and way of life. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, indigenous groups have yet again faced a life-threatening invader. The indigenous approach to conflict is holistic and rooted in a complex belief system. It is this belief system that has helped them persevere from conquest to COVID-19.

Tagging for TV: Design Document

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05) Lausier, Annie

In recent years, television has developed from a limited set of shows constrained by a fixed timeslot into a veritable viewer’s choice of channels, shows, and times. In addition, we have seen the rise of the complex episodic series that encourages replay. Meanwhile, the Internet has grown into a media-rich, customizable experience for users who have become familiar with the concept of tagging items with keywords to foster the organization of a network. Broadcast has begun to merge with broadband in many forms, but viewers still have little to help them navigate through a show. This project, Tagging for TV, brings tagging from the Internet to television as a social, viewer-generated means of organizing data.
Murmur : kinetic relief sculpture, multi-sensory display, listening machine

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05) Rydarowski, Aimee

Today, increasingly varied modes of data representation, coupled with accessible technological resources, have democratized the field of information visualization and opened computing to new user groups. This environment has created a critical mass of consumer-creators who serve up information baked, sautéed, flambéed, stuffed, roasted, pureed, boiled, braised, steamed and flash fried to audiences with discerning pallets. By thoughtfully varying data representation, we can increase opportunities for information to be thoroughly digested. Murmur is a multi-sensory display, an interactive kinetic relief sculpture and listening machine. The design intention is to balance these elements so they enhance one another and are still compelling when considered separately. The aural information that Murmur presently displays is representative of the combination of environmental as well as self-produced sounds picked up by its sensors.
Generating Comics Narrative to Summarize Wearable Computer Data

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-04-12) Alderman, Jason

As people record their entire lives to disk, they need ways of summarizing and making sense of all of this data. Comics (and visual language) are a largely untapped medium for summarization, as they are already subtractive and abstract by nature (the brain fills in the blanks and the details), and they provide a way to present a series of everyday events as a memorable narrative that is easily skimmed. This research builds upon the research of Microsoft, FX Palo Alto Labs, ATR Labs, and others to further ground the procedural generation in the comics theory of Scott McCloud, et al.
