It will present an argument for hybrid materials, methods, and artifacts as strategic tools for insight and innovation within computing culture. It will explore and demonstrate the value of urban computing, citizen science, and maker culture as opportunistic landscapes for intervention, micro-volunteerism, and a new expert amateur. Finally, it will present and question emerging materials and strategies from the perspective of engineering, design, and new media.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:13.05pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#363636'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:13.05pt;background:white'><strong><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#363636;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in'>Bio: </span></strong><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#363636'>Eric Paulos is the founder and director of the Tactical Hybrid Ecologies group and an Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley and faculty within the Berkeley Center for New Media. Previously, Eric held the Cooper-Siegel Associate Professor Chair at Carnegie Mellon University where he was faculty within the Human-Computer Interaction Institute. He also founded the Urban Atmospheres group at Intel Research where a body of early urban computing projects were developed. Eric’s work spans a broad range of research territory from robotics, urban computing, citizen science, design research, critical making, and new media art. Eric received his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley but his real apprenticeship was earned through over two decades of explosive, excruciatingly loud, and quasi-legal activities with a band of misfits at Survival Research Laboratories. <a href="http://www.paulos.net/">http://www.paulos.net/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background:white'>This event is open to public, coffee will be served.
