Practice-Based Research | 2 weeks group project | Oct-Nov 09
Tutors: Prof. Ronald Jones, Jenny Althof, Koji Wakayama
Design Group: EDG1
Brief: With applying practice-based research techniques and theories, find an "Ethical Guideline" for practice-based research.
With two examples of using social media, define what and where are the ethical boundaries of using social media as an emerging technology in societies. Using twitter as a news media during demonstrations in Tehran streets after election or using mobile phones and open networks as a tool to do terrorist attacks in Mumbai, what are - if they are- the boundaries for using social media or open networks as a basement to use social media?
We did a Wardriving project for making a map from open wireless networks, here in Stockholm and checking what are the capacities and limitations of them.
In addition, we used a fake Facebook account ( Canela Slatka )as a research tool for finding ethical boundaries.
We presented our outcomes in form of TV show, to make a different experience of presentation.
