The MIT Computing Culture Research Group〔http://compcult.media.mit.edu/〕 was an applied research group at the MIT Media Lab founded and led by technologist and artist Chris Csikszentmihályi, who also co-founded the MIT Center for Civic Media. Between 2000 and 2009, Computing Culture focused on "embedding poetic and political considerations in the development of new technologies."〔http://rhizome.org/announce/opportunities/36796/view/〕 Its stated mission read in part: :To refigure what engineering means, how it happens, and what it produces. Drawing on fields from the humanities, like Science and technology studies, we create new technologies that function as instances of material power, but also as exemplars of what future goals engineering should pursue.〔http://rhizome.org/announce/opportunities/36796/view/〕 ==Research and Development== Computing Culture designed and built tools to comment on technology and its implications for social power dynamics, but also to function when applied.〔http://www.thebigroundtable.com/stories/the-robots-of-resistance/〕 Tools produced within Computing Culture included, but are not limited to: *Afghan eXplorer (Chris Csikszentmihalyi, 2001), a solar-powered, four-wheeled robot designed to report news from warzones.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/26/arts/26ARTS.html〕 *MarchToWar.com (Tad Hirsch, Ryan McKinley, 2003), a website devoted to wagers on when the United States' military would invade Iraq〔http://www.villagevoice.com/news/the-wagers-of-war-6411328〕 *Government Information Awareness (Ryan McKinley, Chris Csikszentmihalyi, 2003), a crowdsourced website devoted to identifying connections among United States elected officials and lobbyists〔http://searchcio.techtarget.com/definition/Government-Information-Awareness〕 *TXTMob (Tad Hirsch, Chris Csikszentmihalyi, Institute for Applied Autonomy, 2003), a SMS-messaging service for mass-protest coordination *Blendie (Kelly Dobson, 2004), an interactive, intelligent, voice-controlled kitchen blender〔http://gizmodo.com/324866/blendie-2000-voice-controlled-blender-does-in-fact-blend-video〕 *Freedom Flies (Chris Csikszenmihalyi, 2005), an Unmanned aerial vehicle designed to observe militia activity in the Southwestern United States〔http://ttt.media.mit.edu/research/freedom.html〕 *Random Search (Ayah Bdeir, 2006), a wearable garment that tracks touch patterns during airport patdowns〔http://readwrite.com/2014/03/25/ayah-bdeir-littlebits-hack-hardware-circuits〕 *RoBoat (Chris Csikszentmihlayi, 2006), a robotic kayak designed to protest at island prisons〔http://www.thebigroundtable.com/stories/the-robots-of-resistance/〕 *Seeing Yellow (Benjamin Mako Hill, 2007), a campaign against computer printer manufacturers' practice of including traceable, invisible yellow dots on printouts〔http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000247〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Computing Culture Research Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
