Award-winning photojournalist, Karim Ben Khelifa, is widely known for his coverage of the Middle East conflicts, especially the Iraq and Afghan wars, where he covered the insurgent sides. While a Fellow at the Open Documentary Lab at MIT, Ben Khelifa designed and prototyped his latest project The Enemy. This immersive installation uses VR to bring the audience into conversations between enemies within longstanding global conflicts. During his residency, he collaborated with Fox Harrell of the Imagination, Computation and Expression (ICE) Laboratory, to integrate concepts from cognitive science and Artificial Intelligence-based interaction models into the project to engender empathy.

Memory is a river, not a still recording, in which things flow downstream through time, go round bends, get caught & sucked downward in eddies, become gathered up with bits of the great host of other things in the ever moving liquid, are nibbled by fish & sometimes swallowed, decayed by bacteria, & dissolved in the water.
Even if one is acquainted with the research done in the past 30 years or so, there may be much more to be realized by reading a little of what scientist Elizabeth Loftus has learned (& demonstrates in the really fascinating video linked below).
Dr. Loftus's readable overview of her work, originally published in Scientific American, in 1997:
EXCERPT: My students and I have now conducted more than 200 experiments involving over 20,000 individuals that document how exposure to misinformation induces memory distortion. In these studies, people "recalled" a conspicuous barn in a bucolic scene that contained no buildings at all, broken glass and tape recorders that were not in the scenes they viewed, a white instead of a blue vehicle in a crime scene, and Minnie Mouse when they actually saw Mickey Mouse. Taken together, these studies show that misinformation can change an individual's recollection in predictable and sometimes very powerful ways.

And now watch Dr. Loftus's very lively demonstration & explanation of her work. Yes! You get to participate! Get a coke or a beer, because the program is a little over an hour long, getting better as it goes ⤵

so here is my pic for the day. second day of school and this is my class for the day, i'm actually looking forward to this class, it seems like it is going to be pretty interesting (yeah im an odd guy haha). on a photo-related note i used a canon xti for these and the files edit a lot different then my nikon ones, but in a good way. hmmm canon or nikon for my next camera? oh well lol

Some idle diagramming I did during a meeting.
As usual, most of the asterisks represent thoughts or proto-thoughts.
Lots of feedback loops in this one...feedback loops within feedback loops.

"What's your favorite theorem?" asks this banner on the UC Berkeley campus. The girl pictured may actually have had a favorite theorem -- she majored in cognitive science and minored in computer science.
This was my first visit to Berkeley since 1990, and only my second since leaving grad school here in 1968.
