What's the point to live your life only through how the life presents itself to you? Is life not much more than that?

The McGee group is going to the ends of the earth to understand how precipitation patterns respond to climate change. Recognizing that past changes provide unique opportunities to test our understanding of the climate system, the group is building high-resolution records of past precipitation changes in sensitive regions around the world using natural precipitation archives such as lake deposits and stalagmites. In the past two years this work has taken the group to shorelines preserving records of large ancient lakes in the deserts of the western U.S. and subtropical South America, to caves in the Yucatan peninsula and deep inside islands in Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, and onto a drill rig sampling deeply buried lake sediments in the high tropical Andes.

An exhibition titled Concerning Human Understanding in the Visual & Critical Studies Gallery at the School of Visual Arts, July 2015.
Spooky Technology explores creative research opportunities around our understanding of the invisible technologies in our everyday lives, from objects with ‘intelligence’ to systems in our homes that talk to us (and each other). The project focuses on creating an inventory of spooky technologies, presented in the form of a print-on-demand book, from which we can extract possibilities, insights, and opportunities. To do this, we are reviewing work across art, design, HCI, psychology, human factors research, and other fields, that has been done in this field, or adjacent to it, both historically and more recently.
We often hear that the technologies in our everyday lives would appear to be ‘magic’ and potentially terrifying to people in the past—instantaneous communication with people all over the world, access to a vast, ever-growing resource of human knowledge right there in the palm of our hand, objects with ‘intelligence’ that can sense and talk to us (and each other). But rarely are these ‘otherworldly’ dimensions of technologies explored in more detail. There is an often unspoken presumption that the march of progress will inevitably mean we all adopt new practices, and incorporate new products and new ways of doing things into our lives—all cities will become smart cities; all homes will become smart homes. But these systems have become omnipresent without our necessarily understanding them.
They are not just black boxes, but invisible: entities in our homes and everyday lives which work through hidden flows of data, unknown agendas, imaginary clouds, mysterious sets of rules which we perhaps dismiss as ‘algorithms’ or even ‘AI’ without really understanding what that means. On some level, the superstitions and sense of wonder, and ways of relating to the unknown and the supernatural (deities, spirits, ghosts) which humanity has felt in every culture throughout history have not gone away, but started to become transferred and transmuted into new forms.
What creative research opportunities are there at this intersection? This project aims to investigate these opportunities, in the process enabling students to gain familiarity with an under-explored dimension of our relationship with technology.

Working with a team of 12 students over Summer 2020, we collected and reviewed work across art, design, HCI, psychology, human factors research, and other fields, both historically and more recently. Our aim was to produce, collaboratively, a set of examples, from which we can extract possibilities, insights, and opportunities. This was coupled with forays into writing on the supernatural, gathering and surveying first-person experiences, and interviewing multidisciplinary experts.
The result of our work is a 282-page book and a companion website (see spookyte.ch].
It offers a reflection on how we negotiate our collective frictions with contemporary technology and the beliefs and rituals that emerge. The effects — from small-to-large, subtle-to-overt, existent-to-speculative — are charted through six sections of this book.

I'm always happy to accept invites to groups as long as I can see the content. If I see "this group is not available to you", my photos won't be made available to that group. Thanks for your understanding.

"It is difficult for the ordinary voter to come to grips with the notion that a truly EVIL man, a truthless monster with the brains of a king rat and the soul of a cockroach, is about to be sworn in as president[BUSH] of the U.S.A. for the next four years... And he will bring his GANG in with him, a mean network of lawyers and salesman and pimps who will loot the national treasury, warp the laws, mock the rules and stay awake 22 hours a day looking for at least one reason to declare war, officially, on some hapless tribe in the Sahara or heathen fanatic like the Ayatollah Khomeini." --HST, Generation of Swine,

Ever woken up to find dark circles under the eyes and trying every rule in the book to conceal them? Well, it happens to the best of us.
The baggy eyes, dark rings under the eyes make us appear pale, ill or odd.
Even though it may seem like a cosmetic issue, there are many underlying reasons of the same, understanding which is important before opting for a treatment.
Let us take a look at some of the pointers to get a better understanding:
