Light & Interactivity: Week 6 Observation Assignment

-

 Observation Assignment: Interior, workspace





The Light comes from the North and the desk is facing North East. The thin cotton curtains diffuse the light. The curtains are often folded to let the light in. The space is fairly small and there are 2 windows ( 3 x 5ft) that allow the natural light come in. All the walls are painted with a white with a semi-gloss paint which helps to make the space look brighter.

There are no overhead lights in this space. When it gets darker the main light source is behind the chair, so there is no direct light, it is a functional space to work with a laptop but not as good to work with small objects like microcontrollers.

What is the role of bias in creating technological tools? I think using technological tools is one of the easiest ways to access a larger demographic therefore it should be created by All TYPES of people. For the past 20 years we have become more and more dependent on the information we consumed and exchange in a tech environment. Bias is real and it wasn't until less than a decade ago that the conversation about bias and the impact on people life's started to become more of a central topic. Now more than ever we need to give tools to people that otherwise don't have a voice in development of said technologies. Also understanding that Bias cannot disappear from one day to another, it a long process and we need to keep the conversation and education going.
