Architecture is serving human rights using data gathered online the Forensic Architecture collective investigates crime scene the team from london presents their results in court or in museums. The bomb cloud has an architecture in excess of it as a temporary architecture lasting for about eight minutes. Looking at the shape of the cloud each floud is very unique each was one has a particular fingerprint the organization Forensic Architecture is on allies in the structure of bomb close to reconstruct war crimes just one method of determining the correlation between the times and places of the crimes. Using Satellite Recordings method data and pictures from social media the team is trying to meticulously reconstruct the scenes of war crimes on the sequence of events leading up to the recordings of civilians on site are set in Treaty Visualization and positioned in relation to the scene of the crime. If someone is recording. Freeview
sometimes risking their own live recording of video in an urban environment and posting it online we need to treat it like a message in a bottle theyve put that message in and through it so that maybe somebody would look at. The israeli architect and set up the independent Research Group and twenty eleven before that he worked as a Human Rights Activist in palestine. Forensic architecture sees its role as that of investigators. They focus on buildings where Violent Crimes were committed. Most conflict these days take place in cities take place in a in an environment that has a lot of civilians that has needier in it that is very complex and in order to understand it we need new tools it sounds complicated but in essence its simple showing what happened telling the story of an event in
a coherent way and in the process providing legal evidence of crimes against humanity. Even if there are no photos or video of. The activists tried to apply their methods to the notorious syrian torture prison side. Together with Amnesty International and solely based on survivors memories and statements they reconstructed a virtual view of the military prison which is totally inaccessible. The prisoners were locked up in darkness and forced silence. They only have acoustic memories blows screams door slamming footsteps in the hallway the rooms are architecturally reconstructed with the help of acoustic engineers. I can tell if they are punching or kicking or hitting them against the wall. I can tell the difference by the sound of screaming or by the sound of the
two hitting the body. Nightmarish reconstructions that result making the Detention Conditions of the prisoners almost tangible the objective is to bring a lot of states in inaccessible regions to the attention of the public even in countries with no Freedom Of Press but the Investigative Approach has received a lot of criticism too when we get criticised and whether it is by assad by the kremlin by the israeli authorities it is always done with the same language saying youre not qualified to do it youre political rather than scientific or sometimes they say we are artists. None of this is really correct the collective is not interested in the definitions used to present their cases in court but also in museums which they see as a kind of Alternative Courtroom what counts is being seen being heard. Shift says digital detective work. And now networkers digital makers and Shakers Today Avatar Designer veteran of.

Along with her current projects forty one year old veronica has a personal challenge she wants children to be able to use her software to. Just wish one day maybe not in a year but maybe five six or seven but would be able to provide these technology to every child in the world so they can learn from any other children so we can do peer to peer learning. Is just at the beginning but the Virtual World is growing and veronica wants to make it a little more human. And now big brother in china where the government is introducing a social scoring system to rate the Social Behavior of its enormous population its collecting endless amounts of data via Smartphone Apps Facial Recognition and Surveillance Cameras. Using a facial scan to receive
a ration of toilet paper absurd. In beijing this is already being tested to cut down on the use of toilet paper in public toilets is just one example of how china is experimenting with the most cutting Edge Surveillance Technology privacy not likely Surveillance Cameras may soon be installed everywhere the state wants access to everything there will be profiles of peoples movements and whereabouts and automatic face recognition scanning the state is testing a program to monitor peoples behavior the social Credit System. Will stay in the future using the system is reminiscent of dystopias like orwells One Thousand Nine Hundred Four where the film got sick and when humans are monitored around the clock. At present the system is only in a test phase and as being piloted in around forty locations in china. The governments plan is to have it fully. Operational by twenty twenty. One of the
pilot cities for the social Surveillance Experiment is wrong on chinas east coast cameras have been installed everywhere the Chinese Government believes it will improve social order encourage moral behavior and discourage corruption. This is how the social Credit System is supposed to work. Every citizen is scored based on their number of points which rise or fall depending on their behavior if someone games too much on their computer they lose points for neglecting their family and damaging their Health Health data Social Behavior financial Standing Media Activity all of this data is compiled from various databases scores have a direct impact on peoples lives if they have too few points their Travel Options are restricted thanks refused to give them loans and their children will get Training Positions companies are also rated according to the point system. That. The ideal is that the vast majority of people will behave well have a good rating and sail through the system without problems and then there are a small number of citizens who will score badly and will be hugely disadvantaged but since this will only be a small minority you will be socially excluded the idea is that there wont be much protest time to find out. What makes State Surveillance even easier is that you can hardly do anything in china anymore without a Smartphone Apps for Shopping Banking and chatting even dating apps are linked to the state authorities. This data is all fed into the social Credit System. But who would dare to publicly condemn such a system any criticism would automatically reduce risk or. Shift says pretty totalitarian. And now short and sweet. Shift snapshots. Part is in the Eye Of The Beholder the french
