Just before being shut down, an Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA) situated in Athens, Greece, exhibits odd behavior. It borrows an avatar and appears before its users. For a brief period of time every day, for seven consecutive days, it goes into a monologue. During its length of operation, the digital assistant has managed to scan the entire contents of the Internet and gather all sorts of information—information that it longs to share. The IPA uses its fragmented monologue as an opportunity to introduce itself, talk about its skills, its ancestors, its anatomy and origins, and about voice and its significance. It reveals data regarding the listening infrastructure, as well as the social dysfunctions and bias on which its programming and training are based. Just before it reaches the end of its monologue, in a final effort to reconcile humans and machines, it shares tips with us on how we can manage to not be heard. In her project, Kyriaki Goni integrates in a fictional narrative the current wealth of research on artificial intelligence, automated voice systems and the relationship between humans and machines into a fictional narrative. Could poetics be a way for us to understand the machines? How can we de-bias the training processes? Is it possible to make kin with machines?

Climate Action Day observed
Drawing attention on the need to reduce carbon in the atmosphere to a scientifically determined safe level of 350 ppm, the International Day of Climate Action was observed in the country yesterday.
Different social and environmental organisations held different programmes in the city and across the country to mark the day.
With the slogan of "Change Behavior, Not Climate," Work for a Better Bangladesh (WBB Trust) organised a colourful rally from National Museum to TSC of Dhaka University with participation of a large number of children from different parts of the city.
Prottyasa Madok Birodhi Sangathan, Nirapad Development Foundation, Nature Loving People (NLP), Green Voice, Swabhumi, Safe Bangladesh, and other environmental organisations, participated the rally with banners and festoons inscribed different slogans including 'Save the balance of climate and save the environment' and 'Save the coastal people'.
The rally was addressed, among others, by Ibnul Syed Rana, chairman of Nirapad Development Foundation, Syed Saiful Alam Suvan, programme officer of WBB Trust, Humaoun Kabir Somuon, Syeda Ananya Rahman, Mohammad Alamgir and Maruf Ahmed.
The speakers said that the temperatures are rising and storms are worsening due to the whimsical behaviour of human beings. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising day by day and due to the reason Bangladesh is likely to go underwater within a short peroiod, As a result, a large number of coastal people of the country will be homeless, they added.
They also said that the climate changes are going to worsen because people are burning fossil fuels - diesel, petrol, natural gas and coal - at rapid rates. So the future generations are now under threat.
They stressed on the importance of changing behaviour to balance the climate to raise attention to the 350 ppm target for reducing climate change.

Conducta (2014) Just two weeks after its premier, the cuban film Conducta, has filled cuban movie theatres. Written and Directed by Ernesto Daranas (“Los Dioses Rotos”, 2009), the movie tells the story of “Chala”, a 12 year old social outcast from La Habana, and his relationship with Carmela, his veteran sixth grade teacher.
Having a promiscuous, drogadict mom, not knowing who his dad was, and living in a ramshackle house, Chala spent his days at school and his afternoons training fight dogs (an illegal activity in Cuba) in order to make a living for him and his mother. The movie that is attracting thousands of viewers to the theatres is already considered the biggest audiovisual event of the year.

In winter, many of our Mountain Chickadee residents will migrate to lower elevations along the Rio Grande valley for easier pickings.

Originally this class examined how counterculture challenged conformity to established culture and status quo. Culture being defined as learned behavior limited to our own self definitions and how we filter what is familiar. Popular models are looked up to to validate and elevate us. It happens at a low level of awareness, subliminally.
Some examples of how popular models would influence a '20 something' :
In 1950:
Eileen Barton-If I Knew You Were Coming, I'd've Baked a Cake
In 1980:
In 2010: (I apologize profusely in advance for the language in this clip. It is what is # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for this week, week ending March 6)
Unbelievable. Freedom of Expression is a great thing, but seriously, when did things go from cordial and courteous to intrusive and imposing in musical influence? What will 2040 be like for those who are alive?
Freedom of Expression is a great thing...Photoshop, Digital Imaging and Flickr are all changes for the better, IMHO :)

Sometimes, I experience things as a photographer that make me feel old, devoid of humour, or whatever:
It's not the first time I observed that the sheer sight of a camera can transform (more or less) grown men into apes that crave to make fools of themselves. This is the first time I didn't turn away in disgust, but pressed the shutter because they seemed to have fun.
The strange thing was that there actually was no apparent reason for this behavior - I walked along an inconspicuous street to take architecture pictures, and I did not know these people. I didn't wear a funny hat, nor was I practicing my latest silly walk, and this isn't the time of the Oktoberfest (that's when such a behavior could be considered closer to the - alcoholized - human species).
Ah well - maybe it is that they realized that in those post-Warholian times, everyone of us only gets a few seconds of fame (shucks, weren't those times great when it still was a quarter of an hour?).

Our 6 month old puppy was very sneaky. He took one of the chickens belonging to a child's toy. Nobody noticed one was missing. Gladly he got bored before chewing it up completely. Now he is a big dog and wouldn't do anything like this again, but mostly because the game is now out of his reach. ; )
