Fighting false information
(2023)
The digital transformation poses challenges for public sector organizations (PSOs) such as the dissemination of false information in social media which can cause uncertainty among citizens and decrease trust in the public sector. Some PSOs already successfully deploy conversational agents (CAs) to communicate with citizens and support digital service delivery. In this paper, we used design science research (DSR) to examine how CAs could be designed to assist PSOs in fighting false information online. We conducted a workshop with the municipality of Kristiansand, Norway to define objectives that a CA would have to meet for addressing the identified false information challenges. A prototypical CA was developed and evaluated in two iterations with the municipality and students from Norway. This research-in-progress paper presents findings and next steps of the DSR process. This research contributes to advancing the digital transformation of the public sector in combating false information problems.
Living in a world of plenty?
(2020)
Inequality in the distribution of economic wealth within populations has been rising steadily over the past century, having reached unprecedented highs in many Western societies. However, this development is not reflected in people’s perceptions of wealth inequality, as the public tends to underestimate it. Research suggests that inequality estimates are derived from personal reference groups, which, as we propose, are expanded by social network site (SNS) use. As content on SNSs frequently revolves around events of consumption, signaling enhanced overall population wealth, this study tests the hypothesis that SNS use distorts inequality perceptions downward, i.e., increases the perception of societal equality. Responses of 534 survey participants in the United States confirm that SNS use negatively predicts perceived inequality. The relationship is stronger the more SNS users perceive the content they encounter online as real, supporting the assumption that observing other people’s behavior online lowers estimates of nationwide wealth inequality. These findings provide novel insights on inequality misperceptions by suggesting individuals’ SNS use as a new predictor of perceived wealth inequality.
Golden Years
(2006)
Im Rahmen des „steirischen herbst“ 1999 unter der Intendanz von Christine Frisinghelli und im Rahmen eines von Jörg Schlick und Christoph Gurk initiierten größeren Projektes unter dem Titel „REMAKE/RE-MODEL. Secret Histories of Art, Pop, Life and The Avantgarde“ spürte eine Gruppe von KulturwissenschaftlerInnen, PhilosophInnen und AutorInnen diesen „Geheimgeschichten“ von Subkulturen nach (Diedrich Diederichsen, Matthias Haase, Juliane Rebentisch, Martin Saar, Ruth Sonderegger). In einer Installation samt eigens produziertem historischen Film von Mike Kelley, einer Retrospektive der frisch restaurierten Filme von Jack Smith, Performances von Terre Thaemlitz und Ultra-red und vor allem einem Symposium mit u.a. Douglas Crimp, Jerry Tartaglia, Gertrud Koch und den beteiligten KünstlerInnen wurde diesen Fragen nachgegangen.
Der rekonstruktive Teil des Symposiums und seine Dokumentation findet sich nun in diesem unter dem Titel GOLDEN YEARS herausgegebenen Band, der seine Aktualität nicht zuletzt aus auch nachfolgend entstandenen Beiträgen und durch die Ergänzung mit wichtigem historischen Quellenmaterial erhält.
