| <nettime-ann> Now: Hybrid War, Fragile AI, etc. at GLOBAL CONTROL Conference in Riga |
. Hello on Nettime listToday is the 2nd day of the Global Control, RIXC festival and Open Fields 2018 conference. As this event is marking Latvia's 100 year's anniversary, our intent was to highlight some hot topics.
On the opening day we had the lecture by Bruce Sterling on Ukraine's “multicolor revolution”, and five years of armed struggle online and on the ground”. We were discussing the hybrid war and its frontlines – since I have been always thinking that we have the main one here in Baltics, yet Bruce Sterling argued that the frontline is actually everywhere on this globe. More than that, above all the government interests, there are the oligarchs who have the main impact. Perhaps, this explains the case in Latvia – this year Riga is hosting the first Riga Biennial with 100 artworks, and 6 million EUR budget; this money is not national money, of course, but by oligarchs (banks, Russia, this is unclear); just to compare, from the national money (Latvia Anniversary support program) the Global Control conference was granted with 15 thousand EUR.
So, the discussions on who controls the world in the “algorithmic society”, for what purpose the private data can be used, and whether or not we are in under the “global control”? May be not yet, as AI has turned out to be fragile and neural networks sometimes do make wrong recognitions – accordingly to Mauro Martino, director of IBM Visual AI Lab, who was also the keynote lecturer in our Global Control Conference, which is continuing still today, and will end this afternoon with all of the participating going with the bus to Kemeri bog for a swamp sound walk.
Please find below the full program of this year's festival, as we have also other amazing keynotes, and hosting more then 80 international participants both academics and independent artists and theorists, as well as about 60 more master and doctoral students from different universities are attending and participating.
Best regards, Rasa Open Fields 2018: Global Control The 3rd International Conference on Art, Science, Technologies and Humanities September 13-15, 2018, Riga, Latvia The National Library of LatviaMarking the centennial anniversary of independent Latvia and Baltic countries, this year's festival takes up the call by becoming a space for artistic interventions and hot-button conversations addressing the complexity and future of digital society, especially with regards to ubiquitous surveillance and data privacy.
The anniversary festival conference titled GLOBAL CONTROL is taking place in the framework of RICK CHANGE, Creative Europe's network project. It investigates the globally and locally urgent issues of our digital society from three main perspectives:
* Hybrid Wars and Post-TruthThe first, “hybrid war”, is particularly relevant in the context of the Baltic states independence celebration year, when continuous “post-truth” propaganda in media and tensions around military training in this region are on the rise. We also discuss the issue of “fake news”, its consequences on global politics, and its impacts on individual nations.
* Surveillance and Immersive TechnologiesThe second perspective deals with “surveillance and immersion”; as we all are under surveillance, we need to become aware of both the enormous scale of “watching”, as well as the potential “depth” of watching due to the development of immersive technologies.
* The Next Big PrivacyThe third, concerns “the next big privacy” issue, discussed from a “data politics” perspectives – What is the future of our social media? How can we feel safe about our data we publish on the internet today?, and How to maintain trust with the next generation?
These are just a few of critical topics that are discussed and explored in this year’s RIXC Festival through a series of public keynotes, “Open Fields 2018” conference, artistic interventions, thematic panel presentations, open public discussions, performances, and workshops. The featured event is the the Opening of the Global Control and Censorship exhibition that aims to expand the public debate about ever-present surveillance and censorship methods.
The main festival events take place from September 13 – 15, 2018, in the National Library of Latvia. The broad festival program will be closing with the Swamp Radio and Acoustic Surveillance program on September 15, 2018, featuring artistic interventions and immersive sound installations in Kemeri Bog.
The exhibition Global Control and Censorship is open until October 21, 2018, in the Exhibition Hall of the National Library of Latvia.

- - - - - - - - - - - - Bruce STERLING / US-IT-RS. Multicolor RevolutionsBruce Sterling describes media events in the Ukraine after the Euromaidan, the Novorussia secession and five years of armed struggle online and on the ground. This presentation includes a lot of images from his private collection of separatist and loyalist Ukrainian propaganda, along with some papers that Bruce discovered in the Yanukovych Palace while sleeping in the abandoned secret-service headquarters of Ukraine’s former President. Since the Euromaidan “Color Revolution,” this kind of covert media struggle has been professionalized by the likes of “Fancy Bear,” so it’s of interest to see how “computational propaganda” looked back when it was much more amateurish, awkward, comical and confused. Since Bruce is a science fiction writer rather than an intelligence operative, this speech will end with a few mild speculations about how the new media culture of armed struggle and frozen conflicts may go in the near future.
Keywords: media, propaganda, virality, Russia, Ukraine revolution, secession BiographyBruce Sterling is a novelist and journalist. While acting as “Visionary in Residence” at Art Center College of Design in 2008, he wrote “Shaping Things,” one of the first books about the Internet of Things. In 2008 he was the curator of the Share Festival in Turin, on the theme of Italian digital manufacturing. He was one of the original columnists for Make magazine and wrote the cover story for the first issue of WIRED. His most recent book is a work of fiction titled “Pirate Utopia”. Bruce Sterling lives in Turin, Belgrade and Austin.
- - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. Bernhard SEREXHE / DE. Total control: towards a new humanityWhereas not so long ago digital forms of communication were seen as the hope for new forms of democratic participation, they have recently been converted and perverted into ideal door openers for the perfect control of billions of people. Being at the mercy of overwhelmingly powerful authorities of control and censorship has become the conditio humana, the basic condition of our culture and society. We have become accustomed to this situation, just as we are not deterred by the myriads of video cameras on the way to work or on our way back home. And this resignation paired with our love of ease and selfishness invites a new totalitarianism to install a new society with a pre-programmed divide between an elite of hyper-agile information users and a broad mass of interactive consumers restlessly zapping futile audio-visual products and services offered at dumping prices in order to control all of their practices and preferences. This re-coding of humanity will result in the worst of all totalitarianisms, that of a brave new world, in which everyone will be content, well-informed of everything he or she should know in order to play a useful role in society, but remaining ignorant of everything, which does not need to be known and consequently permanently amused to the point of complete satiety.
Keywords: control, surveillance, social profiling, social credit system, totalitarianism

- - - - - - - - - - - - Jens HAUSER / DE-DK-FR. Ungreening GreennessAre we in control of ‘green’? The entanglement between symbolic green, ontological greenness and performative greening poses challenges across disciplines: ‘green’, symbolically associated with the ‘natural’ and employed to hyper-compensate for what humans have lost, needs to be addressed as the most anthropocentric of all colours, in its inherent ambiguity between alleged naturalness and artificiality. There has been little reflection upon greenness’ migration across different knowledge cultures, meanwhile we are green-washing greenhouse effects away. Far from having universal meaning, ‘green’ marks a dramatic knowledge gap prone to systematic misunderstandings: Engineers brand ‘green technologies’ as ecologically benign, while climate researchers point to the ‘greening of the earth’ itself as the alarming effect of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. A morbid odour clings to the charm of the pervasive trope of greening everything, from mundane ‘green burials’ to transcendental ‘greening the gods’, and even ‘green warfare.’ Despite its broadly positive connotations, ‘green’ incrementally serves the uncritical desire of fetishistic and techno-romantic naturalization in order to metaphorically hyper-compensate for indeed material systemic bio and necropolitics consisting of the increasing technical manipulation and exploitation of living systems, ecologies, and the biosphere at large – the generalized, and very ‘un-green’ mechanization, automation, standardization, interchangeability, and hierarchization of parts.
Keywords: greenness, postanthropocentrism, media studies, transdisciplinarity, necro/biopolitics

- - - - - - - - - - - - Jasmina TESANOVIC / US-RS. Internet of Women Things, IoWTIt was my idea to have an open-source connected home of the future. My scheme was accepted by brave new geeks, brilliant people, but mostly male. They gave the house, “Casa Jasmina,” my name: I am grateful for that, but the house is not altogether comfortable. People are diverse and live in bubbles of limited human understanding. Men and women, poets, philosophers, musicians, architects, designers, engineers — we might try to classify them as idealists or realists — the people in cloud bubbles, or the people in ground bubbles. Now, a project like Casa Jasmina — is it a hands-on, practical, maker’s project struggling up toward ideals, or is it a set of ideals searching for grounded realities that might prove that high concepts are possible? Is it a house for the cloud-bubble people, those who invent their own cloud-world before crashing into the ground (or at least landing on it, now and then, to pick up supplies)? Or is a grounded launch-pad for aspiration, where the ground-bubble people assemble tools to reach for the sky?

After the publication of the paper “Intriguing properties of neural networks” in 2013 by Christian Szegedy, we have discovered that learning algorithms are vulnerable. Input data visually indistinguishable from “normal” input are specifically tuned so as to fool or mislead the machine learning system. How is it possible that neural network-based image classifiers exchange the photo of a panda for a gibbon, and do it with a very high level of confidence, almost 100%? We are faced with a more fragile AI than we thought. At the talk we will observe what happens during an attack on neural networks, we will enter into the layers and the neurons and filters of dozens of Deep Neural Network models, to discover their beauty and fragility.

- - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. Ellen PEARLMAN / US. Biometrics and Total ControlThough big data and fake news make the most headlines, the future of real global control will develop around a ‘quantified self’ including a deep dive into biometrics. Areas include the honing of facial recognition and eye scanning algorithms, genetic profiling, immersive experiences profiling (i.e. like Facebook data gathering, except around experiential preferences in AR/VR/MR), brain computer interfaces and the semantic/dream brain, and artificial intelligence algorithmic selectivity. The use and abuse of this information will be subject to nation state dictates ranging from socially conscious societies to rogue dictatorships. Using the arts practices developed in the ThoughtWorks Arts Residency and Art-A-Hack(TM), based in New York City, this presentation examines how arts practice can shed light on the implications of this coming storm.
