Citizens of networked societies are increasingly creating digital traces of their preferences, opinions, views and experiences. These traces may be aggregated and data mined using culturally aware lenses to expose both the individual as well as the community. In this presentation we will present the concept of a digital portrait and explore how it makes possible the visualization and interaction of digital personae. As designers, we need to be aware of the potential to computationally understand our users. Such findings can be incorporated beyond the design process; they can become intrinsic to the designed solution itself.

Bio
Aaron Zinman is a co-founder of Empirical Design LLC, a Boston-based design and development shop. A recent graduate of the MIT Media Lab,Zinman continues to build upon his doctoral research to understand strangers online using culturally-minded modeling and visualization. These new applications aim to fundamentally affect the way we interact online. His award-winning work has been covered by PBS, BBC, CBC, CNN, The Atlantic and more. A San Francisco native, he enjoys the three days a year New England weather permits motorcycle riding.

网络用户越来越多地在数字痕迹上创造自己的喜好,意见,观点和经验。这些痕迹可能会被合并和数据开采利用在文化意识的镜头暴露个人以及社会。在这个演示中,我们将目前的一个数字的肖像概念,并探讨如何可能的可视化和数字对人的互动。作为设计师,我们需要意识到了解潜在我们计算的用户。这些调查结果可以纳入超出了设计过程中,他们可以成为内在的设计方案本身。
