As the pieces that make my body of work finally come together, I find it useful to return to the heart of my research as well as the artists and writers who inspired me in the first place. In her 2016 book Staying With the Trouble, author Donna Haraway emphasizes the importance of creativity andContinue reading “Approaching Completion and Looking Forward: Conversations in Art, Technology, and Wildlife”

I got to catch-upContinue reading “Alex Davidoff: Revisiting Cultural Iconography”
Jas Chawla: Professional Labelers
This month has been an eventful one for us. We already have a basic model that can detect damaged windows reasonably well; however, this alone isn’t sufficient to achieve our broader goal of drone-based damage assessment. To move closer to that goal, we decided to revisit the dataset used to train the original model andContinue reading “Jas Chawla: Professional Labelers”

I am not speaking aboutContinue reading “Miguel Arceo: Controlling the Noise within the Numbers”
