Quand les Net artistes hackent Google Maps. Loin de n'être qu'une cartographie numérique de la Terre, Google Maps et ses bébés Street View et Google Earth sont aussi une ressource au service de la créativité des artistes. Comment les artistes détournent-ils les outils du web ? Silicon Maniacs inaugure une nouvelle série consacrée au braconnage artistique sur Internet.
Aujourd’hui, les hacking de Google Maps, Google Earth et Google Street View. Depuis la seconde moitié des années 1990, des artistes utilisent le web comme un matériau à part entière. Sites Internet, moteurs de recherche, réseaux sociaux ou mondes virtuels : ils détournent les outils que nous utilisons quotidiennement sur Internet pour questionner nos usages et nos représentation du réel. Silicon Maniacs vous propose une revue non-exhaustive de ces hacking artistiques, en commençant aujourd’hui par Google Maps, Google Earth et Google Street View. La cartographie n’a jamais été une opération neutre et objective. Data journalism broken down: what we do to the data before you see it | visualised | News. Guardian data journalism workflow. Click image for full graphic Before a dataset results in a data journalism story, there's a whole process of sifting and finessing and generally sorting the data out. The split is roughly 70% tidying up the data, 30% doing the fun stuff of visualising and presenting it.
So, how do we get through that 70%? Guardian graphic artist Mark McCormick has helped us visualise that process. So, yes, this is a graphic about how we produce data that often results in, er, graphics. A data visualisation about data visualisations, if you will. Click on the play button to see how this fits together. Each of these steps could be a piece in itself - and over the next few weeks, we will break them down. . • We locate the data or receive it from a variety of sources, from breaking news stories, government data, journalists' research and so on • We then start looking at what we can do with the data - do we need to mash it up with another dataset?
• Now we're getting there. Image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Guardian/documents/2011/04/06/workflow2.pdf. Press Kit | Marc Davis. Online Passwords, Accounts, Data - Digital Death Day. Passwords, banking records, social media accounts—day by day our lives create more and more data. But what becomes of all that data when we pass away is a looming problem with no clear answer.
Marc Davis, a partner architect at Microsoft responsible for online services such as Bing, MSN, and advertising, raised this and other troubling issues about citizens' rights to their own information at a panel at this weekend's SXSW conference, called "Demystifying Online Privacy and Empowering the Digital Self. " Despite our increasingly data-intensive lives, Davis explains, the legal framework around our personal data just isn't there yet. "Usually, where commerce and society meet legally is the concept of property," Davis said. "What's missing is a concept of contract law and property rights for digital information. " Consider the concept of a digital will: A legally binding statement to the world declaring who should have access to your information after you die.

DIY Gin and Tonic Laser - How to Make a Laser Out of Gin and Tonic.
It was the summer of 1969. Scientists in Rochester, N.Y., prepared to fire up an experimental laser. Everything was in place—from the cooling system to ensure the laser didn't burst into flames to the warning lights informing other researchers to stay away. It was in every way a typical day in a typical laser laboratory, except for one fact: On this day, the laser doubled as a gin and tonic.
"I'd heard stories about gin-and-tonic lasers for years, but couldn't find out anything definite about them," says laser researcher Stephen Wilk, who published an article on the history of edible lasers in Optics and Photonics News in 2009. He finally tracked down an Eastman Kodak advertisement dated June 1969 that announced Rochester researchers had built a laser from a "certain well-known brand of quinine water" used to make gin and tonics.
The ad invited "ambitious youngsters" interested in creating their own liquid laser to contact Bruce Burdick, who worked at Kodak at the time. Step One: Energy. An imaginary city that changed the twentieth century. Peut-on devenir anonyme en publiant tout de soi ? A vast history of information.
Sam Kean, contributor James Gleick's The Information: A history, a theory, a flood is a biography of information that puts today's revolution in some much-needed context For most of history, messages were things: clay tablets, scrolls, scraps of paper, even glyphs tattooed on to the head of a slave, which were revealed only when he visited the message receiver's barber. But over time, and especially during the 20th century, mathematicians, engineers and inventors slowly began to divorce the content of a message from its physical vehicle, and in doing so changed how humans used and understood information.
Most importantly, these thinkers refined the very definition of information, purifying the concept just as earlier generations of scientists had purified the meaning of "mass" and "energy". (Image: Brian Seed/Alamy) The long emergence and eventual triumph of information and information theory is the subject of James Gleick's aptly subtitled The Information: A history, a theory, a flood. 1pc of Gustavsberg Stig Lindberg Bersa Egg Cup eames by handz.

The leading fashion magazine talks through its rationale for running a flattering story on the wife of anti-American autocrat Bashar al-Assad November and December of 2010 were busy months for Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
He rebuffed international nuclear inspectors, rejected U.S. attempts at diplomatic engagement, stretched out peace talks with Israel (Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman accused him of undermining peace, calling Syria "the center of world terror"), ducked fallout from WikiLeaks revelations that he had attempted to arm Hezbollah with Scud missiles, and celebrated his tenth anniversary with first lady Asma al-Assad, whom he married only a few months after succeeding his father's 30-year rule and who herself spent those two final months of 2010 hosting a reporter from Vogue magazine, which on Friday published a glowing profile of her. "Asma al-Assad is glamorous, young, and very chic--the freshest and most magnetic of first ladies. Photo by J.J.
