Science & Technology
Technology anthropologists, psychologists, cybersecurity researchers, historians, neurobiologists, sociologists (and, and, and) ... this track is dedicated to you and your research. Here we examine the synergies between science and technology. We ask how technological developments and innovations influence culture and society, how culture and society in turn drive digital development and innovation. We are interested in infrastructures and hardware as well as insights into logbooks from laboratories, think tanks and universities. Finally, we are looking forward to learning more about visions, new designs and innovative materials - about making and hacking.
- Science & TechnologyEmanziTech-To start with Car-Hacking, I have built a simulated CAN-Bus-Network with 10 OBD-II interfaces.
OBD-II is the standard Car-Diagnosis-Interface since 2001(Petrol) / 2003 (Diesel).
We will use the MACCHINA M2 Car-Hacking Arduino and flash a basic Sniffer for the CAN-Bus Protocol.
We will retrieve CAN-Bus Data (coming from the simulated Car-Network) and visualize it in SavvyCAN. - Science & Technology-Im Gesundheitsbereich werden große Erwartungen an die Nutzung von Big Data, Algorithmen und Machine Learning gestellt. Ein Beispiel dafür sind Risikorechner, mit denen das persönliche Krankheitsrisiko bestimmt werden kann. Sie sollen Gesunden, Kranken und ÄrztInnen Orientierung geben und Entscheidungen erleichtern. Die Tools sind komplex, aber verlockend einfach zu bedienen. Zeit, sie zu hinterfragen.
- Science & Technology-In future we will not only collaborate with robots, but also share our bodies. "Augmented Human" is the keyword: the enhanced human being will be able to transfer his consciousness into robots or even let machines use his own body. The self will become relative: thanks to our technical enhancement we will be able to share our senses with others as well as transfer them to others and ultimately use other people's bodies as well. How will this future be? What will be good and what can go wrong?
- Science & TechnologySYSTEM:ERROR-Hitzewellen, Schneekatastrophen, Wirbelstürme-alles Wetterphänomene? Oder doch Folgen des Klimawandels? CO2 gilt als Einflussgröße, das beweisen Studien. Was wäre, wenn man aber Studien hätte, die genau das Gegenteil zeigen? Wie falsche Verlage mit Pseudostudien unsere Gesellschaft unterwandern, und was das für uns bedeutet, das zeigt dieser Talk.
- Science & TechnologySYSTEM:ERROR-In this workshop we are going to address the environmental problems posed by synthetic colors and pigments in the fashion & textile industry and look at the possible solutions of it with regard to natural chemicals provided by nature.
- Science & TechnologyEmanziTech-Connecting the technological dots between cave wall paintings and immersive VR experiences, this session will start with a whirlwind tour of history that puts a new spin on the last 10,000 years of recorded humanity Mathana will introduce their concept (re)defining the current era, what they have coined ‘The Fog’ (a provocative take on ‘the cloud’) that offers a new approach towards the way cataloging civilizational epochs.
- Science & TechnologyThe Human Touch-Period tracking apps are currently among the most popular health tracking apps, for good reason. However, privacy, transparency and gender diversity are often not taken into account. Additionally, these apps handle highly sensitive information about us(ers).
Period tracking folks: What do we want these apps to look like? What problems could they solve for us? Let's imagine period tracking technology done right. Let's speculate about the future of menstruation tech together. - Science & Technology-The workshop is about empowering everyone to take control over their own privacy.
The goal is to pass on knowledge about protecting yourself in the digital space. This can include encrypted communication, preventing being tracked while browsing the web, and general security advice regarding computers and smartphones.
Bring your laptop or smartphone!
Deutsch/English - Science & Technology-Today’s Web 2.0 relies on large corporations to store and distribute information, leading to problems like data leaks, behavior manipulation, and surveillance. A new wave of networking technologies, aka Web 3.0, promises to return the internet to the hands of users. In this talk, we'll review the current issues and how we can build a better web.
- Science & TechnologySYSTEM:ERROR-Does your relationship status with your indoor plant read: “it’s complicated”? Sometimes it is just hard to understand what your green friend needs. In our workshop we will show you how to turn the plant’s cries into signals for humans to understand. Join us and learn about microcontrollers and how we can use them to digitize nature!
- Science & Technologytl;dr-Plastikmüll, Dieselgate, Impfen: Wissenschaft liefert Fakten - ob im Alltag oder bei großen Problemen unserer Zeit. Mit „Quarks“ zeigen wir: Man braucht nicht immer ein Dossier. Wie kann man komplexe Zusammenhänge in eine Minute packen, ohne wie pseudowissenschaftliche „Fakten“-Seiten zu enden? Mehr Tiefe durch Kürze. Mehr Debatte durch Reduktion.
- Science & TechnologyMEDIA CONVENTION Berlin-Die Kluft zwischen den Generationen wird immer größer - wer nicht zu den Silver Surfern, Millennials oder der Generation X gehört, lebt bereits im kommunikativen Niemandsland. Plattformen wie Snapchat oder Instagram befeuern diese Entwicklung. Thomas Weigel, Chief Content Officer bei Wisst ihr noch zeigt auf, wie sich diese Entwicklung auf die Kommunikation zwischen den Generationen auswirkt und welchen Einfluss Social Media auf unser Leben hat.
