Elon Musk, Code Conference, Interview, [Spring 2016]

interface /ˈin(t)ərˌfās/ noun 1. a device or program enabling a user to communicate with a computer. splinter /ˈsplin(t)ər/ verb 1.break or cause to break into small sharp fragments. identity /ˌīˈden(t)ədē/ noun 1. the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. archive /ˈärˌkīv/ noun 1. a collection of historical documents or records providing information about a place, institution, or group of people. surveillance /sərˈvāləns/ noun 1. close observation, especially of a suspected spy or criminal. avatar /ˈavəˌtär/ noun 1. an icon or figure representing a particular person in video games, Internet forums, etc. artificial intelligence /ˌärdəˈfiSHəl inˈteləjəns/ noun 1. the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence

Every day more and more interfaces present themselves for us to imprint a splintered version of our identities on. We continually find ourselves seduced by sleek and efficient ways of connecting and archiving ourselves in an attempt to preserve ourselves into the memory of existence, for we continue to exist up until the moment the last person forgets us. It is because of these traits that we continue to allow ourselves to be tracked and monitored by technology under surveillance. On the surface they range from lighthearted texts to social medial posts to gaming( avatars, usernames, handles, profiles, etc...). However, none of these interfaces are correct representations of who we are as it is impossible to log every word, every thought, and every emotion of ourselves…currently. These incomplete profiles are not completely false in the end. They are just splintered pieces of a puzzle that if pieced together can create a whole, perhaps a new whole from what they came from. The tool I am looking to use to piece these identities together is that of Artificial Intelligence and the way it occupies space and will be used in society. The sheer quantity of uploads and tracked locations calls for concern as it is argued now that our technology knows more about us than we do. It picks up habits about our daily lives and gives us “recommended” choices in our feeds. If we continue to upload more and more about ourselves these recommendations will become so accurate that they are being generated by our virtual selves. It goes without saying that every piece of data needs somewhere to store itself. The amount of data storage it would take to store the human populous would be larger than the Earth could allocate. This is determined from the reference of the fastest super computer in the world, The Summit, located in Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This prompts a different approach to the norm of data storage and data compression inside of CPU fridges. This data and use of false profiles are already being manipulated in today’s culture. From bots on social media to selling our profile preferences to 3rd party companies we are approaching an era of making a decision between privacy and integration.

Stanton, Andrew, WALL-E, 2008

Faustian Bargain /fow-stee-uhn/ noun 1. an agreement in which a person abandons his or her spiritual values or moral principles in order to obtain knowledge, wealth or other benefits. virtual /ˈvərCH(o͞o)əl/ adjective 1. not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so manifestation /ˌmanəfəˈstāSH(ə)n/ noun 1. an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something, especially a theory or an abstract idea. immortalize /i(m)ˈmôrdlˌīz/ verb 1. be or provide a memorial to a person or an event simulation /ˌsimyəˈlāSH(ə)n/ noun 1. imitation of a situation or process

It is not an unknown fact that who people are in the digital realm are different than who they are in reality. It is interesting to see just how people want society to see them and just what some are able to get away with having the protection of the disconnection of human interaction with the assistance of a black mirror. What most people don’t realize is that there is more data being tracked and utilized than we may realize, but I have a hypothesis. This research will reveal some of the dark horses behind our profiles but once they are revealed it still will not change how we go about using technology. We have made Faustian Bargains with big tech companies to allow us to stay integrated into this cultural matrix of data that is embedded into the everyday fabric of society. It has become an addiction that we cannot go anywhere without our mobile devices. In the book Irresistible III by Adam Alter, it is discussed how Steve Jobs didn’t let his kids have the new iPAD’s and he heavily restricted tech use in his household. He knew exactly what type of addictive nature he was creating with his seductive designs, but it’s not only apple but all social media platforms. “Greg Hochmuth, one of Instagram’s founding engineers, realized he was building an engine for addiction. “There’s always another hashtag to click on,” Hochmuth said, “Then it takes on its own life, like an organism, and people can become obsessive.” Instagram, like so many other social media platforms, is bottomless. Facebook has an endless feed; Netflix automatically moves onto the next episode in a series; Tinder encourages users to keep swiping in search of a better option. Users benefit from these apps and websites, but also struggle to use them in moderation. According to Tristan Harris, a ‘design ethicist,” the problem isn’t that people lack willpower; it’s that “there are a thousand people on the other side of the screen whose job it is to break down the self-regulation you have.”” [02] When AI comes along as is able to stitch these fragments together it will be able to create a digital manifestation of ourselves that will not only immortalize us but also allow for unlimited potential in simulations. However, this amount of data does not exist without a certain amount of space to allocate for it. Data is being recorded and stored faster than data compressions technology is being advanced. This research uses the fastest Super Computer in the world as a reference for determining size allocation. If every human on the planet was logged into an AI interface the amount of space it would require is more than the Earth is able to allocate.

platform /ˈplatfôrm/ noun 1. a place or opportunity for public discussion utopian /yo͞oˈtōpēən/ adjective 1.modeled on or aiming for a state in which everything is perfect; idealistic.

Companies like Facebook and twitter have been around fro nearly 14 years now and they have taken such a strong foothold into our everyday lives that they are referenced daily by the majority of the populous to have interactions with people, to read stories, and to tell their own. The Earth’s population is roughly 7 billion inhabitants. According to Facebook Statistics[04] there are 2.14 billion users as of the last quarter. That is more than a quarter of the world’s population on a single platform. This also doesn’t account for the number of different platforms that people use to interact or log their lives. This thesis looks to utilize AI as if it’s for a utopian future, but it is already being implemented and manipulated in today’s society with our networks. Drawing 1 shows a task that most people are familiar with. When logging in you have to select certain images to confirm your not a bot. These images are not just displayed randomly but are utilizing the digital network populous to feed these now identified images into an ai software. Have you ever wondered why these tasks always ask for fire hydrants, cars, bikes, or road signs? What is currently being developed in the realm of AI that needs to identify these from one another? Self-Automated Vehicles.

This is known as the reCAPTCHA test. It was originally released by Google as they were on a quest to scan every book and newspaper. In the beginning it would show two distorted words for the user to transcribe and type in what the word is clearly. This way of using an existing network of people has allowed for the use of the largest workforce to transcribe text and identify images for free. The question then is know that you know you are doing work for

free, do you have an issue with something that benefits people? Also, once there are enough images for self driving ai collected what would be the next image set?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are building a self driving AI without even knowing itâ&#x20AC;?[05]

bot /ˈbät/ noun 1. automated program that runs over the internet

Q -02 | CUE | DATA CONTROLLER

reality /rēˈalədē/ noun 1. the state or quality of having existence or substance

With such a large quantity of users on one interface i is almost unbelievable. That is because it is partially incorrect. The reason it is difficult to truly amass just how many digital users there are is because of false humans, or bots. For example, a huge topic currently is that of a Central American migration of people making their way toward the US Mexico border. As it was getting close to midterms in the US this topic was being utilized by everyone to push their narratives to influence the voting. A business called Robhat Labs conducted an examination into the social media discussion of this topic. They have a tool called BotCheck.me that allows users to identify bots in their feed with 94% accuracy. “Late last week, about 60 percent of the conversation was driven by likely bots.”[06] That is more than half of all conversations being discussed by people that don’t exist. This makes it extremely difficult to accurately gauge data input. From polls to hashtags to followers it makes you question the authenticity of some profiles over others and just how much influence one person has with hundred of bots at their disposal. What may appear as a movement on media could potentially just be a single person in reality.

Adam Kramer, Jamie Guillory, Jeffrey Hancock, 2014

subconscious /səbˈkänSHəs/ adjective 1.of or concerning the part of the mind of which one is not fully aware but which influences one’s actions and feelings. manipulation /məˌnipyəˈlāSHən/ noun 1.the action of manipulating something in a skillful manner.

It is argued that technology knows more about us than we do ourselves. It can pick up on subconscious habits and behaviors and give “recommended” stimuli to the user. For the most part this seems like a very helpful tool that can help people find subjects pertaining to their interests buried under the infinite knowledge of the internet. However, it sets a dangerous precedent. If we use the internet enough across all platforms it will be able to accurately give us a subject of interest pertaining to our enjoyment. If we did divulge in this system for long enough we would become reliant on it to tell us what our habits are when they may not be. Many companies have started to pick up on this capability have begun running experiments on users without them even realizing. For example, in 2014 Facebook conducted an experiment on 689,003 users to test their emotional feedback once presented with certain feeds of positive or negative topics. This type of psychological manipulation is being tested in major scales ranging from tech companies to cyber warfare.

Q -02 | CUE | DATA CONTROLLER “The experiment tested whether emotional contagion occurs between individuals on Facebook, a question the authors (a Facebook scientist and two academics) tested by using an automated system to reduce the amount of emotional content in Facebook news feeds. The authors found that when they manipulated user timelines to reduce positive expressions displayed by others “people produced fewer positive posts and more negative posts; when negative expressions were reduced, the opposite pattern occurred...”[08]

“Emotions expressed by others on Facebook influence our own emotions, constituting experimental evidence for massive-scale contagion via social networks.”[09] 14

There is a plethora of allies that are working within the same realm as the DJ’s Archive as people are becoming more and more aware of the unchecked capabilities and resources technology has over us. However, these ideas have been thought about since as early as the beginning of the 20th century. Most people associate science fiction with future utopian worlds that let us achieve feats that are impossible today. For some cases this may be true , but everything in technology was science fiction until it was created. The idea of the Facetime dates back to a 1878 illustration by George du Maurier[10] when it was conceptualized as a videophone. It wasn’t until June 7th of 2010 that Facetime was released that allowed for such a large audience to connect over audio and imagery. One of the allies in my research is the book, “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Phillip K. Dick[11]. This book was written in 1968 and was the inspiration for Blade Runner[12]. It deals with a society set in the future where androids walk amongst humans and have achieved such a high level of sophistication that it takes specific testing to determine a cyborg from a human. My research explores the use of our splintered identities across platforms to be stitched together by an AI system that with enough information would theoretically become perfect digital clones of ourselves. What I seek to address is what identity that AI takes for itself and the rights it has if any. If we achieve one day this level of creating minds then do we as people fall into what seems to be a habit of categorizing them as “them” against “us”. This issue is addressed by another ally, A Cyborg Manifesto by Donna Haraway[13]. In her essay Donna writes about the border between Cyborg and Human is an “optical illusion”. As stated before this isn’t tech happening in the future but now. There are already a plethora of Cyborg’s in today’s medicine. ““Late twentieth-century machines have made thoroughly ambiguous the difference between natural and artificial, mind and body, selfdeveloping and externally designed, and many other distinctions that used to apply to organisms and machines. Our machines are disturbingly lively, and we ourselves are frighteningly inert. [...] Modern machines are quintessentially microelectronic devices: they are everywhere and they are invisible. [...] Writing, power and technology are old partners in Western stories of the origin of civilization, but miniaturization has changed our experience of the mechanism.”[13]

Q -03 Intellectual Allies | Sampler | Chorus

The research set for the DJ’s Archive is in tone with much of science fiction film and cinematography. The vast variety of methods of story telling and visualizing themes present in this research are inspired by films such as the one on the left titled, “Sunspring”[14]. It is a film whose screenplay was written by Jetson, an Artificial Intelligence machine whose narrative is to write screen plays. Filmaker Oscar Sharp and technologist Ross Goodwin fed Jetson hundreds of science fiction film and tv scripts from the 1980s and 90s. The film it produced became one of romance and murder set in a bleak future, and Jetson thereafter referred to itself as Benjamin. What this film sets for the research is that once we feed the DJ enough human information to replicate it will begin to be able to create new people.

Anthony Hopkins, Westworld, TV Series, 2014

memory /ˈmem(ə)rē/ noun 1.the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information. habit /ˈhabət/ noun 1.a settled or regular tendency or practice

Another film I want to annotate is “Westworld”. This is a tv series based in a utopian future where “guests” attend a park that simulates an older age of the wild west that is inhabited by “hosts”. These hosts are robots that are assigned such detailed narratives and backstories that they don’t even realize what they are and are reset every day to then repeat the same story to the benefit of the guests. What drives each of these narratives is a “cornerstone”. The cornerstone in the show is in reference to some core memory that makes a person who they are. *Potential Spoilers* Toward the end of season 2 in the show it starts to reveal that this is not simply a park for the upper class to reveal who they are, but to also track the guests and their habits and create digital copies of them. What I seek in reference to this film is that of the space it takes to occupy the hosts’ data. Also, I seek to extend this series into a season three and explore what possibilities can be achieved with such data.

“In here, we were gods. And you were merely our guests.”[15] 21

“We can’t define consciousness because consciousness does not exist. Humans fancy that there’s something special about the way we perceive the world, and yet we live in loops as tight and as closed as the hosts do, seldom questioning our choices, content, for the most part, to be told what to do next.”[15]

algorithm /ˈalɡəˌriT͟Həm/ noun 1.a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.

The sample on the left is captured from the show “Black Mirror” It is a show that is taken place in a not so distant future using existing / concept technology. In the episode, “Be Right Back” a woman named Martha lose her husband in a car accident and struggles to cope with the realization that she and her child no longer have a husband / father. She is introduced to a program that lets an algorithm read through his public profiles and posts and becomes a copy of him to the accuracy as the profiles it was fed. It starts off as just a chatbot. To serve as a mechanism for her to tell him that she is pregnant and to help her cope and move on. However, it takes a dark turn as she can no longer move on from it. She proceeds to take part in an experimental program that creates a physical clone of him that now has access to his private information and become a closer replica of him. This episode was the catalyst for my pursuit in this research. It deals with an idea that is not too far away and sets the tone and era for what I am designing The DJ’s Archive for.

copy /ˈkäpē/ noun 1.a thing made to be similar or identical to another. chatbot /ˈCHatbät/ noun 1.a computer program designed to simulate conversation with human users program /ˈprōˌɡram/ noun 1.a sequence of coded instructions that can be inserted into a mechanism

Madeline Gannon. Quipt. 2018

interact /ˌin(t)ərˈakt/ verb 1. act in such a way as to have an effect on another mechanism /ˈmekəˌnizəm/ noun 1. a system of parts working together in a machine robot /ˈrōˌbät/ noun 1. a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer. scripts /ˈprōˌɡram/ noun 1. a computer language with a series of commands within a file that is capable of being executed without being compiled

The influence of Artificial Intelligence reaches past the grasp of Literature and Film and extends into the realm of architecture and design. Some projects adopt the benefits of AI and utilize its capabilities to help either a design or the community. There are also projects that reject or fight back against the role AI may play in a dystopia future. How does a machine interact with people within a space? When people think of a mechanism they imagine a sort of stillness or repetitive pattern of a form. What Madeline Gannon’s research seeks to challenge is the way a machine can interact with people within a space. Madeline employs the use of a robotic arm that has an “all seeing eye” of the space around it. She programs natural gestures into the robot to react and create a visual dialog with those that are within range of its scope. She gives it this liveliness that makes those who interact with it almost feel some sort of attachment to it. To be able to “see” the machine as something that isn’t dead but full of thought and spirit. However, at this stage it is a mimic of such traits. The movement and relationships that are integrated into the machine are pre-programmed and still predictable lines of command scripts. The image shown to the left shows a person seeming to have an interaction with the machine however it is from the comfort of having a glass wall separating the two. At what point does this glass wall or yellow caution tape in the lab no longer need to exist? At what point can there truly be a dialog both verbally and visually between human and machine? What this research influences in my own work is that of a way of rethinking the connection between something that is born and an entity that is installed. When the DJ’s Archive is formed and houses the AI of a human, it should be seen as an extension of the human instead of being a tool as referenced in A Cyborg’s Manifesto. When the Ai manifests itself into a space what caution tape or glass walls will there be for a human to feel secure and safe from potential malfunctions?

“The Fun Palace was not a building in any conventional sense, but was instead a socially interactive machine, highly adaptable to the shifting cultural and social conditions of its time and place.”[18] 28

Q -03 Intellectual Allies | Sampler | Album

[18]

The way in which space is formed is dictated by which who or what the space is for. In 1964 the project “The Fun Palace”[19], Cedric Price designs a cybernetic theater with spaces that would adapt to the users wants and needs as they could change it over time. Users would be able to break away from their patterns of day to day life and experiment with their spaces and become aware of the power of their own influence over a space. This created a super leisure design where people would experiment themselves or with each other as they could watch how a space reacts to others and learn from it. This sense of pedagogy would evolve the theater over time to transcend it from the bounds of time and become a space that unlike any other. The DJ’s Archive looks to the aspect of this design but substitutes the human for the AI. This presents an entirely new range of possibilities as it comes into question what the AI’s wants and desires are. Do the necessities of the human transfer to that of their AI counterpart? Does the limitations of reality mimic within the realm of data and design?

camouflage /ˌˈkaməˌflä(d)ZH/ noun 1. the disguising of military personnel, equipment, and installations by painting or covering them to make them blend in with their surroundings. glitch /ɡliCH/ verb 1. a sudden, usually temporary malfunction or irregularity of equipment.

[19]

In Liam Young’s “Invisible Cities”[19] he proposes a world constantly under surveillance and how one could mask their identity to try to keep what little privacy there is. Through the use of machine camouflage and anti-facial recognition masks, a group of factory workers seek to explore hidden spaces of the city that are not on the digital map. They would sneak through gaps in the algorithms through the anomalies of glitches and abandoned architecture. The DJ’s Archive gets its data from the day to day users through their electronic interactions. However, the research seeks a fail safe to ensure that it is an opt-in / opt-out system where those who wish to partake can and those who don’t can remain “Invisible”. Even so this project is in reference to the human hiding from the machine. While the DJ’s Archive research seeks how one could potentially hide the DJ from the human. What spaces or moments could be created where the AI manifestations can seek an invisibility to the world and find these moments of creativity shown in Invisible Cities.

Methodology

subconscious /ˌənˈkänSHəs/ noun 1. the part of the mind that is inaccessible to the conscious mind but that affects behavior and emotions.

To get to point where I can design a space for an AI manifestations, I first need to explore what makes up my DJ. For this research I am looking to explore the data I have logged into the multiple platforms that have created the splintered profiles of myself. These pieces alone are authentic singular identities that form their own personas, but are not complete accurate representations of myself. What I am looking to experiment with is different ways of representing the ways technology can see our subconscious habits and data impressions through our profiles. Similarly to how we as humans warp the space around us, I want to show how my data has warped the context around it. There is a vast quantity of data impressions I have made across a an even greater number of platforms. The Methodology will cover certain “trending” platforms that are used my the majority of the populous so that it can give the reader a better understanding of the data they are feeding when clicking the little button that says, “Accept” at the bottom of the endless pages of Terms and Agreements. One of the data habits that was first explored was that of movement. What the illustration on the right represents is 12 hours of mouse movement while on a computer. The circles on the graphic appear when the mouse was stationary. The longer the mouse remained still the larger the circle grew.

Q -04 Methodology | Recording Studio | Sound Bite 37

It is always difficult when people ask the simple question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is your favorite color?â&#x20AC;?. What if you could learn maybe not what your favorite color is, but what your eye has a bias for. The first media platform I pursued was Instagram. Instagram is a social media company that allows users to upload posts in the form of photos and videos with captions. Through the use of a coding software one can take a different perspective on an image and see what makes up its characteristics. For this experiment a pixel sorter was created. A pixel sorter is an algorithm that takes an image and isolates each individual pixel. Then, based on what the algorithm tells it to sort by it gives each pixel a number and stars putting them in order. The sunflower above is an example of a pixel sorter that is sorting based on hue, and one aspect that can be taken away from that image now is that the balance between yellow and green is not perfect. I employed this technique on a grid system of all of my Instagram photos. What the result in the top right shows is that I seem to have a bias towards blues and warm oranges. However, I seem to stray from stark reds and purples. The radial graph you see to the right runs the photos through a sorter for saturation and brightness. Across these algorithms one can see different perspectives of how computers can see imagery in ways we as people have a less amount of capacity for.

The next media platform is one that has come under much speculation over the past couple years, Facebook. What a lot people are unaware of is that their personal data that companies have acquired over them is available to them upon request. So that is exactly what I did.

Q -04 Methodology | Recording Studio | Sound Bite

I submitted a request on Facebook’s website for the data they have acquired over my profile as long as I have been on the website. What I received was nothing short of disturbing and yet not surprising. The data was e-mailed to me in the form of a .zip file and once opened had a folder of an index for all the categories of the data. The very first set of data was a set of raw information that served as my face-id for Facebook to able to identify me in photos for tagging. This raw data is then visualized through a software and shown in the graphic on the left with the data that curated it beneath it. The next set was the list of attributes that make up my “recommended” feed. My Facebook profile is one that has appeal to 125 topics, and a lot of those topics aligned with mine. However there were still quite a few that I had never heard of before, 34 to be exact. My Facebook profile’s interests align with mine with 72.8 percent accuracy. A piece a data that I am surprised Facebook allowed me to see is that of which companies have my data in their archives since my “preferences” align with their companies. There were a few anomalies in this list that made me curious as to why they would need my data. One of which is that of the company for SWAT Radon Mitigation in 17 different states, and not one of them was Tennessee. A more comedic piece of information Facebook shared with me is the category they have assigned to my peer group and profile. The category is “University or Starting Adult Life”. That second one gives me the chills, but it makes me curious as to how many categorizations Facebook has for its user base. If I continue to upload more and more to Facebook and interact with its content than this profile’s data will become closer and closer to aligning with myself. That 72.8 percent accuracy will increase over time with each new post I like or comment.

sound bite /ˈsound ˌbīt/ noun 1. a short clip of speech or music extracted from a longer piece of audio

Q -04 Methodology | Recording Studio | Sound Bite

Another set of data that is under the potential microscope of surveillance and pattern recognition is that of audio software and voice recognition. The sound bite displayed on this spread is that of a single moment in a song from a playlist. It takes the audio and runs it through a script that separates the frequency from the left and right headphone across the x and y axis, and then it takes the frequency and maps it to the z axis. This strategy gives a textured map of an auditory variable that allows for visualization of the changes across a single pitch. This exploration has opened the possibility in taking every song in the playlist and compiling multiple sound bites to determine patterns of noise aesthetics similar to that of the Instagram exploration through visual means. Also, this same strategy can be applied for voice recognition that appliances like Siri and Amazon Alexa utilize. This creates a potential relationship between a form and pitch of a voice. Just how it is impossible to take the exact same picture twice it is also impossible to achieve the exact same pitch / form twice. Each iteration would be a unique landscape that serves as a characteristic for my DJ’s audio profile.

Cortical Homunculus, Sharon James

Q -04 Methodology | Recording Studio | Sound Bite

There are two data sets that make up a DJ. One is the digital data that companies and platforms track and utilize. The other set is that of a physical nature. From thumb print scans to unlock a phone to identifying people on passports with their ears. Without the physicality for the DJ to manifest as the data would be this uncondoned / unguided essence. Almost like it is water floating in space without a jar to house it. One of the most common applications people have are smartphones. At this point in time most smartphones adopted the use of thumbprint technology. Every time you unlock your phone you give a new scan and paint a clearer picture of what your manifestation will be. Some newer smartphones have adopted the face scan. This scan consist of point cloud of 30,00 infrared lasers mapping to your facial mesh. This creature you see on the page next to this one is the Cortical Homunculus[20]. Dr. Wilder Penfield sought to visualize the neurological map of our senses by increasing the proportions of certain aspects of the human body that equate to the amount of synapses that activate for each sensory component. I am looking to use this concept but for data mapping. To amplify the characteristics of the thumb / face scan, the ears for passports, the mouth for voice recognition, and potentially the eyes for future retina scans. If the DJ is a combination of everything that makes us then it makes sense to imagine that it will manifest in the same form that we have. However, could it be possible that the DJ manifests as an entirely different entity and become its own form?

VENUE _45º52.6S, 123º23.6W

Site

myth /miTH/ noun 1. a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events. eerie /ˈirē/ adjective 1. strange and frightening

The value of the data that will be comprised of everyone’s DJ will be immeasurable. It is not something that any one entity should have. It needs to be an open resource for everyone to utilize either in everyday life or in research. It needs to be a UN for technology that everyone contributes to and benefits from. So what better place to house such an archive than Point Nemo. Point Nemo is the location in the ocean furthest from any point of land. It is located in the southern Pacific and is about 2,690 km from land. This will make it physically out of reach from any one company and can serve as a perfect site for housing data as the water from the ocean provides the perfect cooling capabilities. This point is the loneliest place on Earth. The only people that travel through it are trade routes and extreme boat marathons. This is how it acquired its name “Nemo”, not from the fish but from the Latin translation to ‘no man’. Similar to the idea of Captain Nemo this is a site for something that should not be sought out by people as I fear it will be misused for malice and conflict. For a project that has curiosity and suspension lingering in the air this site also caries these eerie characteristics. In the 90s there was a sound that occurred at this site. It was called “the Bloop”. It was louder than that of a blue whale leading people to create myths of sea monsters. In the end scientists deemed it was the sound of a giant iceberg collapsing, but some still believe in the myths set in this location.

It makes you think if Nemo means no man or nothing then Finding Nemo was actually Finding Nothing (o_O).

Q -05 Site | Venue | 45º52.6S, 123º23.6W

Another use for this site is a resting place for satellites. This site serves as a graveyard for high-tech space junk. Since it is the furthest point from not only land but any person, it makes for the perfect candidate to veer malfunctioning or aging space debris into to crash safely with the least amount of impact. Once at the site one is closer to the astronauts in space than to land. The US, Russia, China, and other countries use this same space to retire old systems and rarely retrieve them as by the time they reach an age of retirement there has already been new forms of creating a similar product with higher efficiency. Another aspect of Point Nemo is the lack of prevailing winds that blow through the sea. Land is a major supplier of nutrients in the ocean water. Since this location is nearly cut off from these nutrients it is an abandoned ocean. Meaning that there is rarely any sea life below the surface. All that lies beneath the water are still, lifeless pieces of machine. The Dj’s Archive deals with addressing realities of data tracking and surveillance that cause a sense of uneasiness and discomfort. What better place than to pick a point that has no life above or below the water, dead space junk, and myths of seam monsters.

Q-06

VERSE Proposal

The DJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Archive seeks to be just that. An archive for artificial intelligence to stitch together personas and potentially create new ones. Since it an AI for a human is still in the process and not completed, there is still no accurate number as to just how much space a sinle DJ would occupy. To determine an educated estimate I will be using The Summit[22] at Oak Ridge national laboratory and the Human Brain Project[23] as references for sizing. Oak ridge supplies all the details this research requires from the fastest supercomputer in the world. However how does one translate a CPU or memory space into terms we can relate to the human brain. There are about 500 scientists at more than 100 universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that are exploring every detail about the brain that technology allows us to. The Human Brain Project was able to determine a low ball estimate of translating the amount of neural commands in our brain stem to that of commands in a computer.

Q -05 Proposal | Verse 57

The Summit occupies a 9,250 sq. ft floor of fridges to be able to create 1.5 PiB(petabytes) of memory. The Human Brain Project estimated that the brain can create as little as 500 PiB of memory. This allows me to acquire how many Summits a single DJ would occupy and then multiply it by the square footage. After using these two for reference I was able to determine the average size of a DJ is slightly larger than that of the John Hancock Center Tower. Every DJ will be a different size has everyone has a different amount of data they have imprinted on across multiple platforms. However with this as a given, it would take the total area of Point Nemo and extrude itself 97 stories to be able to house every humanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DJ. This prompts a potential change into how one stores data.

[23]

58 Q -05 Proposal | Verse

“If smart phones are compared to this new technology and technique than it can be seen that this new research has shown that a terabyte of information storage data can be stored in a liquid computer memory and cluster of nano particle that is three percent concentration in a tablespoon which the smart phones would require external storage to perform.”[23] [23]

Harvard University Research. Data Storage in Liquid and Water, 2016

There is current research being conducted by Harvard Research to experiment with encoding liquid. The research “Data Storage in Liquid and Water”[24] has shown that the 1s and 0s that make up storage data can be embedded into water and liquids. They have been able to achieve compressing 1 TB of data into 1 table spoon of liquid data storage. The only issue the research is facing now is how to form the liquid to certain spaces and how to read it quickly without the use of microscopes. This is where decommissioned space fuel comes in handy. In the 1960s NASA was looking into experimenting with different means of controlling fuel for the rockets with zero gravity. They determined that magnetism was the best course to control it so they manufactured a fuel called “Ferrofluid”. It is a liquid that is sensitive to magnetic fields and visually displays the magnetic field vectors. If the DJ’s Archive could be that of liquid nature then data could take place in multiple places as it could have a cloud and an archive. Every so often the cloud would update the archives partaking in a data transfer. The clips you see here are experiments conducted with the space fuel to see its possible capabilities. When a bolt or magnetic spine is used the ferrofluid binds to it and creates a sort of lotus spiral.

Q-06

FEEDBACK Reflection

The DJ’s Archive addresses an issue that has been going on for quite some time. The capabilties of data tacking and surveilance is that of a risky nature. Once one opens up their data to be used there is no telling who is going to misuse it. However, the Archive is a place for people to have access to AI that stitches their splintered profiles together to become the “best” Siri or be used in their research. We as people always want to have something that identifies us and makes us unique. We enjoy itemas and appear that fit within our ‘vibe’. This is translated into technology with phone cases, backgrounds, and other items. To be able to have a one of a kind Siri to assist you and become potentially something more than just an algorathym, but something people can start to develop a relationship with. This book addressed the capabilties of storing the data it would take to house the archive, but I don’t want it to end there. I want to explore the characteristics of a space that the DJ’s can occupy. Just how the rules change when humans enter space, how do the rules change when technology enters space. This research doesn’t come without its variables. The space a data archive would take is different than how an archive of books would be created. For example, the business card fits into a binder that fits on a shelf that is placed in a room that makes up a library that defines a building. However data can be compressed. Currently more data is being stored than data compression is advancing, but when that curve shifts it theoretically would mean the DJ’s Archive has no scale as its size will change and fluctuate over time.
