Brooklyn Creative League, 540 President Street, Brooklyn, NY (Union Street Station (M, R))
The Soul of the New Machine-NYC is a viewing hub and barcamp for individuals to explore new technologies and their applications for the practice of human rights.
"How can a mobile phone become a tool for documenting human rights abuses? Which organizations are crowd-sourcing data during crises to understand group violence? What's the best way to use online social networks to organize human rights activists?"
The Soul of the New Machine conference, organized by the Human Rights Center at the University of California Berkeley, will address all of these questions and more through two days of expert panels and workshops. Featured events at the New York hub include:
- 8PM, May 4: Wine & Cheese Networking event with video-streamed keynote address by James Suroweicki (author, Wisdom of Crowds)!
- 9AM, May 5: Breakfast Q&A (speaker TBA)
- 9AM-12PM Barcamp sessions both days!
All events (and most food and refreshments) are FREE.
