== Focal Camera ==

The Focal Camera is an open-source modular camera prototyping system,
allowing easy construction of complex cameras. During this talk we will
explore the (commercial) camera’s history to assert the need for the
DIY camera & it’s vast possibilities.

== Object-Oriented Subject ==

Vortragende: Lídia Pereira, http://majesticmoo.se/

“Object-Oriented Subject is a joint project initiated by researchers
and designers Lucia Dossin and Lídia Pereira in which they investigate
he strategies of Facebook’s data processing factory. By focusing on the
inference of personal attributes from user data for categorisation
purposes, Lucia and Lídia hope to successfully achieve a mapping system
which allows them, as well as interested parties, to understand,
visualise and explain the existing relationships between the different
interactions within or around Facebook’s platform, the data extracted
from these interactions and the transformation of these data into
categories, which are themselves a manifestation of the company’s
interests. During her talk Lídia will go over the research process, as
well as its practical manifestation, the workshop ‘Beerpong or Voltaire?’.”
