NYUSW: Hackstories - The Joy Behind Building Technologies

RSVP on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/1671567423118085/).

Hack, hack, hooray! Come and be inspired by the stories behind hacks people build. We have invited two speakers from NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program - Nicole He and Ross Goodwin to talk about what inspires them to continuously build and work on interesting projects, and the joy she gets from building these hacks.

Speakers: Nicole He (http://nicole.pizza/) and Ross Goodwin (http://rossgoodwin.com/). Nicole He has worked on a few notable projects such as The True Love Tinder Robot (that "will find you love, guaranteed" and Soylent Dick, a phallus made out of Soylent that ejaculates Soylent when you type self-validating praise for Soylent into the browser. Ross Goodwin works primarily with machine learning, natural language processing, & other computational tools to realize new forms & interfaces for written language. His notable projects include word.camera which uses neural networks (via Clarifai) to extract concept words from images and expands those initial words into sentences and paragraphs, Fiction Generator, which generates novels according to user-defined parameters using content scraped from various lit websites.
