Re: [Yasmin_discussions] [Yasmin: bogota columbia

Clarissa:
Primo.io is impressive and I like the tangible aspect. One more thing, in addition
to littlebits http://littlebits.cc/ and others like this our lab plans to buy. I suggest 2
items that go along with this discussion:

- Modeling: the way of thinking promoted by Primo and Littlebits is based more
on modeling that coding. The vimeo video narrator states that one of the learned concepts
is a "queue" although the primary concept in the kit appears to be "control flow." I do
not see a queue, per se. Most of the modeling software in the discrete event modeling
and simulation conference exhibitor spaces—e.g., Winter Simulation Conference), however,
does explicitly involve queues so models containing queues are in abundance.

- Art: in the class I am teaching (Creative Automata) this semester, an emphasis is made
for students to create their own representations. The little girl playing in the video provides
a perfect scenario for this. Imagine that she could create, or use, her own objects instead of
the red and yellow pre-cut ones. Projects such as primo are paving the way, commercially, for this
future. I am considering making a "primo-like" homework # 2 next week for the CA
students where students can explore the principle of control flow. We will feed results back
to the group and to the CA blog and mailing list on LinkedIn ("Creative Automata").

Keep the ideas and methods coming, and we can share ideas and results going forward.

[Yasmin_discussions] diversity in transdisciplinary practice

Ariel- jut for information my current institution is the university of
texas at dallas
and what is surprising is that after so many years of trying the
sciences and engineering
in the usa are still having trouble having a truly diverse community
of practice-
a student in my seminar last semester looked at the statistics for
researchers and
software developers in the gaming industry-i wont give the statistics
because of RB;s
previous comment but its rather depressing

Anne_Sarah; i guess i really wanted to broaden this discussion from gender

the art science technology community is convinced that we need to find new ways
to enable true, deep, collaboration between artists, scientists and
engineers- that
these diverse groups with individuals with different 'ways of knowing'
will lead to
really exciting important work that responds to the human condition today= it is
really difficult to create these trans-disciplinary collaborations-
the good news is
that there are more of them than before ( see our SEAD white papers report at
http://seadnetwork.wordpress.com/white-papers-report/ )

among the tactics we discussed were ways of making sure that diverse
communities could work together

INCLUDING: Spurring innovation through diversity
4. Communities addressing global issues and local solutions
EMBEDDING: Public engagement and negotiation
5. Outreach, "citizen science," dissemination
SITUATING: An emerging ecology of creative places
6. "Alt spaces"

my argument is that the gender question is part of a much larger discussion
about how we enable new forms of creative collaborations- that involves
not only artists, scientists and engineers, but also diverse cultural
perspectives

I find this curious:

in our university the women computer scientists are mobilising through
the new lean-in movement
http://leanin.org/ - karen doore who is being copied and is leading
this effort might like to comment

"our university" is, I believe, MIT, yes? In any event, with all the
efforts by women over the years, decades really, to change the
culture, be included, get the job, etc etc. I find it interesting that
it is the "lean-in movement" that is kindling their mobilizing.

Anyone have thoughts here???

Best, Ariel Dougherty

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Fwd: [Yasmin: bogota columbia

Hi every one,

I am happily surprised that some are interesting by this -old- debate.
- never won !! -

Stats don't hide anything. they help to see a state, a fact, a situation.
The analysis must be made after.

I agree on homophily.
I would name it differently : sexism (mainly unconscious, even by
women), fear of women (to be afraid of women, difficulty to forget the
seduction process), or lack of open mind (as Roger mentioned - very
good idea).

My field is art, not computer science. Though I agree that an analysis
should be made in both, or in all fields, I think the situation is not
analog.
In the art field, many students are women (about 75%), but they are
absents in the summits. even when they are good.
- and in this debate we are speaking on media art, field where many
women work.
I myself code my images or programms.

Women (we) are not educated (enough) in schools AND in families to
take word in public and to fight for their ideas - ie to have self
confidence. and it is a real fight/war to manage to be selected.
We lack knowledge in working in team. we have social skills, but
mainly to become friends, not to become colleagues and succeed together.

Unfortunatly women still suffer from the bad image they have : not
mainly bright but mainly kind. Society is very slow to change on this
last point.

Regards,

Anne-Sarah

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] [Yasmin: bogota columbia

Dear colleagues,

Before joining in last October the UCLA Art | Sci program as a postdoctoral
resident scholar, I was teaching creative computer classes in Brazil for
Design and Media Arts undergrad students. My observation is that, side by
side with government educational directions and plans on how to introduce
coding in schools as part of the normal staff, all around the world, the
young generation --- the internet born guys and girls --- are learning
coding online --- exploring practicaly the available content in blogs,
websites, youtube tutorials ----- the same way they learn a foreign
lenguage,or how to built a robot with very cheap sensors.

Here a good example on how it is being naturally integrated as a every day
life knowledge: learning online how to code as we learn how to cook a
special indian dish, or how to speak a Mandarin....

In the exemple bellow, the aesthetic of the webpages is very similar to the
ones we can find in the several "learning english" online websites.

Best,
