Description: |
Gillian Hayes is a Ph.D. candidate in the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her research lies in the field of HCI, with emphases on ubiquitous computing and computer-supported cooperative work. Her dissertation focuses on designing, deploying, and understanding capture and record-keeping technologies for informal and unstructured daily activities. Her talk will be on " Support and Surveillance: Audio and Video Recording in Daily Life." She says that as recording technologies become cheaper and more prevalent, we become an increasingly observed society. Audio and video records support a variety of human problems and document experiential information that can serve as memory aids and diagnostic tools. At the same time, their migration from the realm of research into real-world use poses questions and challenges that affect not only their adoption but also perceptions about these technologies and indeed about society itself. She will present her research on capturing audio, video, and text-based media in unstructured, everyday environments. She will describe the concept of selective archiving, in which recording services are on and available but require explicit human intervention to save data. This concept was tested in two in-depth case studies, special education in schools and a semi-public space in an academic research building. The deployments of these technologies in situ serve as technological probes, uncovering those issues surrounding capture that can be difficult to observe or to vocalize. The presentation will be videocast to 3244 SI North. All are welcome.
