Networked Civil Disobedience: CONCEPT

Through the tactical media talk from the hacktivism session lead by Heath Bunting comes encrypted messages, in a day an age where everything is becoming digitalized, it is important for sensitise data to be encrypted so that it does not fall into the wrong hands. When communicating with someone it is hard to encrypt your messages or communication unless you are using specific applications such as WhatsApp that provide an encrypted service and there are settings on phones that allow forms of encryption, however ultimately this data is still in the hands of someone, therefore it is important to be able to communicate and encrypt messages without the use of technology. I have been tasked with a partner to encrypt the word PILOT through the use of intimacy encryption, it went as follows:

P - The third letter of the things you keep on your desk
I - The Second letter of my second name
L - First Letter of your car number plate
O - The Second letter of the place I work
T - The first letter of the name of my dog

This works effectively when trying to communicate in private situations which require you to do so. It is a hard task to be able to communicate using intimacy encryption, however if you can master it you will be able to communicate more effectively both in private and non-private conversations and is good practice.

Networked Civil Disobedience: Hacktivism with Special Guest Heath Bunting

What is Tactical Media? Tactical media is a phrase that has been around since 1966 and can be defined as "a form of media activism that privileges temporary, hit-and-run interventions in the media sphere over the creation of permanent and alternative media outlets"(En.wikipedia.org, 2018) The purpose of tactical media lies with the type of information that it produces, it is generally a way of reversing the one-way-flow of communication between corporations and the public, and bringing balance and/or a retaliation from the public. Using art to make us think how our data is used: (Billboardliberation.com, 2018) It is no lie that we sign away tons of our own data for free everyday and continue to do so every time we open our phones, however to what extent is this data being used do you ask? Well it is without a doubt that we are being personally targeted to display adds that Google thinks we will appreciate more or it could be that Facebook profiling their users in ...

Smart Everything: Machine Sensing and Awareness Concept

My Concept: For this topic I have come up with the concept of a smart dog collar which communicates to the owner through a smart phone app, sending notifications when it is time to feed your dog, or display statistics about your walks, how long, how many calories etc or when it is time for a walk or a treat. Allowing the user to personalise the experience by setting your dogs name through the app, so it is as if you are communicating with your dog. It can also allow for GPS tracking of your dog where-ever he is so you will not have to worry about ever losing him/her again. I believe the market is ready for something like this as I would personally use it after recently losing my dog, I can say it is not a pleasant experience, and using something like this will provide someone relatively new to owning a dog with a routine and discipline.
