2. 1. Life-stowing from a Digital Media Perspective : Past, Present and Future

   Author : Alberto Frigo; Stina Bengtson; Jay David Bolter; Södertörns högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; life-stowing; tebahism; effortfull; life-logging; quantified self; selftracking; surveillance; sousveillance; archiving; syncretism; constructivist theory of perception; database aesthetics; Kritisk kulturteori; Critical and Cultural Theory;

   Abstract : While both public opinion and scholars around the world are currently pointing out the danger of increasingly popular life-logging devices, this book articulates this debate by distinguishing between automatic and manual life-logging approaches. Since new definitions of life-logging have excluded the latter approach and have been mainly focused on effortless life-logging technologies such as Google Glass and Quantified Self applications in general, the second part of this thesis theoretically frames life-stowing.

   Abstract : Change detection of objects and events in our visual surroundings is sometimes severely difficult, especially if these changes are unexpected. Such failures in change detection may cause huge malicious outcomes in contexts characterized by high levels of complexity and risk. READ MORE

7. 5. “All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace” : Activist Practices in an Era of Mediatized Surveillance

   Author : Ilkin Mehrabov; Miyase Christensen; John Sören Pettersson; Andreas Kassler; Emiliano Treré; Karlstads universitet; []
