Next Monday 18 March, I will be convening a workshop at the Oxford Internet Institute, speaking with three professionals who have made their livings manipulating fear, sound and smell. How do these masters of the senses design their products to get us to feel, see and do what they want us to?

[Royal Institution] Hearing Connections' John Matthias
Monday November 21, 2011 @ 08:29 AM (UTC)John Matthias is a musician and composer. And a particle physicist. He’s speaking tonight at the final lecture in the Connections series at the Royal institution, Hearing Connections: The Sonification of Natural Systems, an examination of the processes behind transforming our neuronal connections into music. I asked him the same set of questions I asked the other presenters (see Daniel Jones’ answers), and particularly like John’s reading list.

[Royal Institution] Hearing Connections' Daniel Jones
Friday November 18, 2011 @ 11:40 AM (UTC)I’m wildly excited about next Monday’s lecture in the Connections series (the events I’m guest curating at the Royal Institution) – Hearing Connections: The sonification of natural systems. This is the final lecture in the series, and it takes a lateral step in the theme by looking at the physiological connections in our brains and how they can be used as inspiration for artistic expression. Specifically, the lecture is a demonstration of how a group of exceptionally talented musicians and scientists have translated neuronal pathways into sound.

[Digifest] Is the Web the ultimate propaganda machine?
Friday March 26, 2010 @ 05:14 PM (UTC)The ‘spinternet’, or the use of social media by governments and special interest groups to recruit and galvanise populations to tow the party line, is a term coined by Georgetown University researcher and journalist Evegny Morozov. It’s a concise shorthand for the topic of last Wednesday night’s discussion at DigiFest, the series of digital technology events I curated this month at London’s Science Museum.
