I+C+i Our Life online - Workshop+debate

24 February 2012 at CCCB

Some Naked on Pluto action in Barcelona next week

///

The first session of I+C+i 2012 carries out a critical explanation of
software policies, the notion of identity on the social networks and the
impact of simulation caused by new artificial life applications. A
workshop taught by Naked on Pluto, winners of the VIDA 13.2 prize and
Gerald Kogler, and a discussion with the participation of experts such
as Jussi Parikka, Pau Waelder, Aymeric Mansoux, and Mónica Bello,
promise an intense day of action and reflection on lesser known aspects
of our life on the web.

Session organised in collaboration with Fundación Telefónica.

WORKSHOP: Facesponge (aka plutonian exploration on Facebook)
With Aymeric Mansoux and Gerald Kogler.
10h-14h

Have you ever wondered what is going on "behind the scenes" on social
networks like Facebook? In this workshop we will explore our so-called
social data and get a glimpse at how it is viewed by the company and
third parties who access it. In order to break several myths about
Facebook applications, you will be invited to take part in designing
small programs that extracts and manipulate you and your friend's online
information. Nothing will be written back to Facebook at any time, we
will only be reading existing data. No data will be collected or
viewable by anyone else.

No programming experience is required. Basic knowledge of javascript can
be useful to explore more advanced possibilities of the Facesponge
sandbox.

This workshop is part of the Naked on Pluto project, a critical text
adventure Facebook game concerned with issues of online privacy and
control within centralized commercial social networks, designed and
written by Marloes de Valk, Aymeric Mansoux and Dave Griffiths.

Facesponge is developed in collaboration with Baltan Laboratories.
All Naked on Pluto software is released under free culture licenses.

Schedule:

* Naked on Pluto presentation
* Gameplay session
* Anatomy of an FB app
* Introduction to Facesponge
* Breaking FB apps myths
* Group discussion

Practical information:

* The workshop will be taught in English.
* You will need to bring your own laptop.

DEBATE: Identity and simulation. Artificial life on the networks.
With Jussi Parikka, Pau Waelder, Aymeric Mansoux and Mónica Bello.
19h-21h

Internet is changing our way of understanding the public space. The Web
has become a dominant structure that covers all aspects of contemporary
society. The proliferation of virtual agents, designed to stimulate
non-fortuitous reactions and meetings, reconfigures the profile of
individuals in dynamics that are innovative but also invasive, and
generates new forms of control. In this brand new context, identity and
simulation become decisive themes of behaviour on the Web.
