He has led the development of the UrbanSim model of urban development and the Open Platform for Urban Simulation\, now used by Metropolitan Planning Organizations and other local and regional agencies for operational planning purposes in a variety of U.S. metropolitan areas such as Detroit\, Houston\, Phoenix\, Salt Lake City\, San Francisco\, and Seattle\, as well as internationally in a growing list of cities in Europe\, Asia\, and Africa. His current research focuses on the assessment of the impacts of land use regulations and transportation investments on outcomes such as spatial patterns of real estate development and prices\, travel behavior\, emissions\, and resource consumption \n————-\nLive broadcast at http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

This talk examines several evolving voting technologies and their impact on persons with cognitive and physical disabilities. The research described will show how many of the accessibility opportunities for people of age could actually improve the performance of the voting population as a whole. \nWe will start with the premise that technology’s goal is to create access. In this context\, access should be contrasted with assistance. Technology should facilitate anyone legally permitted to vote to do so without help from another person. To the extent that we can remove the barriers to allow people to vote independently—so that their intentions can be recorded\, recognized\, and understood—we will reduce the need for and complications involved with having another person in the voting booth or penning an absentee ballot for the voter. \nBiography:\nTed Selker directs Research on Accessible Voting at University of California Berkeley. Dr. Selker spent 5 years as director of Considerate Systems research at Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley. He was also responsible for developing the campus’s research mission\, teaching HCI\, Android product design\, and research in voting with disabilities. \nBefore that\, he spent ten years as an associate Professor at the MIT Media Laboratory where he created the Context Aware Computing group\, co-directed the Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project\, and directed the CIDI Kitchen of the future/ product design of the future project. His work is noted for creating demonstrations of a more considerate world in which intentions are recognized and respected in complex domains. \n———-\nLive broadcast at http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

From stratospheric satellite stills to disembodied medical x-rays\, we use pictures to describe our environment with unprecedented frequency. Images have become the common language that allows us to not only understand our present landscape\, but also access the inaccessible. \nYet\, as Emmanuel Alloa wrote\, images are “re-articulations of a past that has never been [truly] present.” We discover the blank spaces\, the impenetrable margins of our world through what are essentially “testimonials.” We must ask ourselves then: what dangers and what possibilities arise from defining our location through image? \nState mandated degradation of pixelation on surveillance footage ensures that we are unable to perceive the evidence of drone strikes\, altering our perception of foreign policy. Meanwhile\, sublime hubble telescope imagery invokes the American West and our manifest destiny\, furthering space exploration. As ubiquitous street view technology allows us to encounter the fringes of a city — its dumps and mortuaries and scrap yards — forcing us to reckon with our urban landscape\, mapping interiors peels back the shadow of the real to reveal the traces of present time within the grand scale of oblivion. \nAre we better citizens of the planet surrounded by imagery? Do we understand our location in new\, exciting ways? Or has image rendered us strangers in a strange land? \nAt Image as Location\, an international group of experts discuss and visualize how images define locations. Through exhibitions\, conferences and workshops\, artists\, theorists\, and technologists from Europe and the Americas will question how we are shaped by the images of our world. \nJoin us for a festival that will change how you see your environment — and don’t forget to bring your camera!

He has also co-created three influential web sites: the pioneering online magazine FEED\, the Webby Award-winning community site\, Plastic.com\, and most recently the hyperlocal media site outside.in. A contributing editor to Wired\, he writes regularly for The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Financial Times\, and many other periodicals. Johnson also serves on the advisory boards of a number of Internet-related companies\, including Medium\, Atavist\, Meetup.com\, Betaworks\, and Patch.com. \nHis book Future Perfect: The Case for Progress in a Networked Age was released in September 2012. In August 2013\, PBS announced that Johnson would be the host and co-creator of a new six-part series on the history of innovation\, How We Got to Now\, scheduled to air on PBS and BBC Two in Fall 2014.\n————– \nThis talk is also part of Image as Location\, a symposium to discuss and visualize how images define location and allow us to access the inaccessible.

Applicants will be notified by July 15. To submit\, see instructions below. \nNow in its second year\, QGCon is a free\, weekend-long\, interdisciplinary event. The goal of QGCon is to create an open and inclusive environment for discussing the intersection of video games and LGBTQ issues\, however you define them. QGCon brings together academics and game developers to foster dialogues that break traditional disciplinary boundaries. The QGCon organizers believe in the importance of creativity and play as tools for intellectual and personal exploration. We are particularly interested in broadening our focus to address issues of race and gender non-normativity\, and we encourage submissions from folks who have long gone underrepresented in games and the games industry. \nThe theme for this year’s QGcon is Difference at Play. This theme is designed to spark ideas\, not to limit them. Feel free to submit a session proposal even if your idea falls outside the theme. Some questions inspired by the theme might include: \n– What does it mean to play differently?\n– What does it mean to play at difference itself?\n– In what way can “difference” speaks to questions of race\, gender\, and sexuality for games and those who play them?\n– How do we define “mainstream” and how do we define “different”? \nOther questions related to queerness and games that speakers might consider include: \n– What does it mean to play queerly?\n– What does it mean to design queerly?\n– In what ways are queer characters depicted in games?\n– What is the place of queer gamers in larger gaming communities?\n– How is queerness perceived in the games industry?\n– What happens when we put queer studies in conversation with game studies? \nQGCon welcomes proposals from speakers of all backgrounds\, including but not limited to: game developers\, indie designers\, academics\, artists\, and activists. Potential session types include but are also not limited to: solo talks\, pair or group talks\, panels\, workshops\, live interviews\, microtalks\, and play sessions. Please feel free to be creative when envisioning your presentation.
