As the value of online digital ads races to the bottom, we're left wondering if it's become just another form of spam, something that software should filter out. Indeed, some say adblocking is the biggest boycott ever known with 200 million people blocking the ads and growing. What caused this backlash against the business model that was supposed to fund free content on the Web? How has data been misused to trigger an abusive relationship between businesses and consumers? What's the prognosis for a marketplace that industry insiders are increasingly admitting might be "subprime?" What if it's about to be substantially reshaped by market forces, shifting social attitudes about personal data collection, and looming regulatory changes on privacy and data protection? David Carroll will tackle these topics and more at the next UX + Data Meetup. David is the associate professor of media design at Parsons School of Design where he teaches in the MFA Design and Technology program. He is also a recovering entrepreneur whose failed startup was an AI brain learning pop culture through digital magazine archives. He's on Twitter and Medium as @profcarroll]]>

Workshop led by David Carroll (@profcarroll), associate professor at Parsons for NYC Media Lab Annual Summit 2015 at NYU on Sept 25 We demoed and evaluated two major mobile live streaming apps in this workshop: Meerkat vs. Periscope while inventorying other players in this wild new space that allows anyone with a smartphone to instantly attract live audiences who engage interactively in realtime. We discussed how people are using this new way of making media, interacting, and communicating while contrasting it with other social media practices. We also considered the mechanisms used to assess traction on these new platforms. We encouraged experimentation because the best way to figure out live streaming is to both produce and consume it. ]]>

LazyBytes Exhibition Public Talk, Parsons, New York, Oct 24, 2013 /slideshow/lazybytes-exhibition-public-talk-parsons-new-york-oct-24-2013/27587673 lazybytestalknyc-131025235047-phpapp02
The slides for the presentation by Nicolas Henchoz, director of EPFL+ECAL and David Carroll, director of MFA Design and Technology at Parsons The New School for Design on October 24, 2013 in conjunction with the opening exhibition at the Aronson Gallery at Parsons. LazyBytes is an exhibition of TV remote control concepts developed across workshops at EPFL+ECAL, the RCA, ENSCI-Les Ateliers, and PARSONS. The talk summarized the project objectives and outcomes with special attention paid to the concepts submitted from PARSONS. Rethinking the television remote? The topic is a surprising one. Why focus on an object that has so little value in the home? What interest does it generate, beyond changing channels and controlling some functions? Paradoxically, the very act of posing these questions legitimates the topic. In brief: why would a chair, a vase, or a plate become an object loaded with value, emotion, and cultural history, while the remote control, situated at the heart of domestic activity in the living room, is generally devoid of meaning? Now that television is digital, this observation deserves even more investigation. The remote control is at the heart of our relationship to the world of digital media. The Lazy Bytes project and resulting conference are part of a research theme at the global EPFL + ECAL Lab that aims precisely to renew our relationship with digital technology. This relationship is subject to performance and competition: increasing the number of functions while reducing the cost. But this performance race, embodied by the almost infinite number of controls, excludes a large proportion of users, such as the elderly and those indifferent to mastering the technology. The television remote is also an icon of our physical relationship to the digital world; it accompanies us in our real world to enable us to act in the digital world. However, as an object, it has acquired neither status nor value. Lazy Bytes does not seek to replace the latest generation of the most sophisticated remote controls, but rather to offer an alternative – a new experience which renews our cultural relationship to the digital realm. Four top design schools responded to this challenge: ENSCI-Les Ateliers in Paris, the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London, Parsons The New School for Design in New York, and the ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, a founding partner of the Laboratory. The Kudelski Group, a global leader in direct access television, has applied its skill and expertise to significantly increase the relevance of the work. Under the leadership of Thierry Dagaeff, designers confronted the reality on the ground with unbridled creativity. Finally, in response to the need to improve digital access, the Leenaards Foundation and the Loterie Romande provided crucial support to this project of extensive benefit to society at large. ]]>
