Moving Forward

Through the research of what's data and what kind of data we are extracting, I went back to the basics of colors. As we all the things we look on the screen, it basically pixels right? Techncally we're are already selling pixels as form of data and what if we can value pixels?

Red-Dominant Pixels: 1,489,740 Green-Dominant Pixels: 6 Blue-Dominant Pixels: 26,546

Through these values I wanted to determine how the color-dominant pixels are valuable as a data. Which led to an interesting suggestion that in Security surveillance, a raise in red pixel value can be seen as fire breaking out which can be deemed valuable. Data can be evaluated as to how many objects within an image for a different field and determine how valuable the image data is. In that sense, it can be considered a “good data”? Sure there is existing data marktetplace that sells data, but what kind of data people get are getting are unknown and to be considered as good data. This could lead to the possibilities of people being aware of data privacy but couldn’t be bothered to do something about it.

Guest Lecture by Ashley

So, we had a guest lecture by Ashley from FEELERS, which gave us very interesting insights about their own studio practice and how work with sustainable tech.
