Course Brief
Ethical Guidelines within Practice Based Research

In order to explore these questions, you will begin by creating a map of the hotspots that provide a mesh network in downtown Stockholm (See map at the end of this syllabus). There is no map of mesh networks in Stockholm which is available to the public. Your map, therefore, will become a uniquely powerful instrument. But for what?

This assignment requires you to collect and then to contextualize your map in various persuasive scenarios, prototypes or systems with following criteria in mind:
1. Clear target group (audience/situation)
2. Immersive/intelligible (focused on evaluated subject/problem)
3. Illustrative (clear, clean and detailed communication)
4. Persuasive (simulative over time)
5. Enlightening (provide new knowledge)"
You are to use this Twitter account as a collective research-diary to document the entire process of this studio start to finish.

You will design and create an exhibition about this studio where you are to communicate and advertise the exhibition through Social Media channels (starting with the Twitter documentation of your collective research-diary).

Project participants
ALL EDG1 Students (10)

Project Description

What we had was a bike to pimp, a laptop, a satellite antenna and a software called Netstumblr. After experiment of mapping some areas of city of Stockholm. At first we had no clue where to go from that point. Thus we decided to divide ourselves into groups. Each group focused on different media and aspects to be able to come up with Ethical Guidelines. All groups dealed with sub theme; Social Media Networks. Themes were: Digital Death, Canela Slatka- fake facebook person and Internet Service for homeless people.
Finally we decided to underline all these by presenting it as LIVE TV SHOW PROGRAMME called EDG PBR TV.
At the beginning I worked in group which had to pimp up the bike. Later on I mapped central area of city of Stockholm with EDG1 BIKE, finally I worked on digital death together with Vijai Patchineelam.

Reflections

We had hard time working in group of 10 people, thus we had to organize ourselves by dividing into smaller groups. We had some cultural difference struggles. I learned something about each culture we have in EDG1. Also I learned to think about etichal guidelines more carefully, especially since they differ in each culture, thus it is not easy to set them. From my point of view it is equally important to set questions about ethical guidelines as to set guidelines itself.
