From #CloudComputing to #gender, identity, #facialrecognition algorithms, #privacy, #music, #VirtualReality , #art, #Bioinformatics, this year’s Academy Assistant projects are exciting and impactful at the same time. We had the kick-off event yesterday, here is how it went:
First of all, we had the launch of the first art installation of the Use-me project by Marjoleine van der Meij and Marco Schurmann – it is called “(re)think the role of smart sensors in the digital age”.
