Digital Content Communities explores computing as part of the everyday life:
the creation of in particular digital content and
groups and communities using this data.
Our work focuses on three areas:
We are deeply engaged to build the future, and apply versatile methods, including in-the-wild, action research and design research.
Similarly, we aim to interact with the society, in forms of policy consultation, public apperances and working with the industry.
Our back is multi-diciplinary, including computer science, artistic research, and, social science.
Personal Data and Society
We support MyData ecosystem through research and development efforts in
- empowering individuals to control their personal data and thus to manage their own lives and privacy both online and offline
- enabling the conversion of data from closed silos to reusable resources
- decentralizing the management of personal data
We help to renewing European data protection regime as we
- produce scientific knowledge about privacy and data protection
- make it easier for companies to comply with the legal requirements
- help individuals to better understand their rights
Augmenting participation
We study environments to facilitate participation in events and spaces
- development of Presemo and live participation practices
- how performers integrate the audience input as part of the on-stage performance
- challenges which emerge when mediated environments are brought to events
We analyze augmented participation in cross-disciplinary collaboration together with social scientists
- Digital-Media Influence Index measures how much the various digital footprints impact the media agenda
- Automated Discourse Quality Index supports political scientists measuring deliberation by using computational text classification
Smart Spaces
T4Tags 2.0 is an open-ended toolkit for programming Web-connected and versatile tokens that embed different sensing technologies
- attach the tokens to existing artifacts to create smart behaviors at home
- share their programmed behaviors or take into use those created by others
Spaceify is an open source client-edge-server ecosystem that integrates your physical space with the web
- enable web apps controlled access to resources such as big screens, sensors and lighting in your space
