SUMMARY:Affective Landmarking - An App to Close Read with Your Emotions
DESCRIPTION:Come interact with a tool that turns close reading into a color spectrum. Affective Landmarking is an annotation style where readers highlight passages in a text and tag them with emotional responses\, such as fear\, joy\, etc. Those tags are visualized in real time\, mapping the diverse reading experiences to reflect emotional clusters\, overlaps\, or disappearances across a text.\nThe project was experimented with in a first-year writing classroom at Queens College\, where students read Claudia Rankine’s Citizen and annotated their responses together.\nAL asks: What happens when emotions drive analysis\, and subjective experience is valued\, especially when reading controversial texts? This project treats that data as relational and participatory. Going forward\, this style could open up possibilities for comparative studies across classrooms\, organizations\, and communities\, asking people to read slowly in the age of quickness.\nCome try this process\, engage with the app\, and learn more!\n\nBio: This project was built by Meha Gupta\, a PhD candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center\, where she works at the intersection of digital humanities\, affect theory\, physics\, and race and ethnic studies. She teaches at Baruch College.

SUMMARY:Du Bois Does Data: Juneteenth at the Oculus — Presented by Radical Imagination (Day One)
DESCRIPTION:This is part of a three-day weekend of presentations from Radical Imagination celebrating Juneteenth by exploring the legacy of W.E.B. DuBois. \n35 years after slavery\, Du Bois set out to provide a definitive image of the Negro condition in the United States. His data efforts not only quantified economic parity or lack thereof\, he also focused on where people lived\, and how they lived. During the 1900 Paris Exposition\, he shared his findings with the world. But how do those findings hold up 125 years later? What has changed? Has anything stayed the same? At Du Bois Does Data\, engage with his visuals\, portraits\, and data in a multi-sensory experience. Scents derived from the life and experience of W.E.B. Playlists charting the course of Black American music from his birth to his death\, a day before the “I Have A Dream Speech.” Books celebrating his work and a first edition copy of his completed passion project\, Africana. Curated vintage stamps in his image\, portraits\, and his article in Africana will serve as activations for A/R experiences\, bringing the nostalgia into the palm of your hand. In Du Bois Does Data\, we also used Python to evaluate the condition of Black Americans 125 years after his exhibit using Census data in 6 Jupyter Notebooks. \nBio: Mike Spade (Radical Imagination) is a Learning Strategist focused on bridging the gap between historical scholarship and immersive technology. With a background in instructional design and a passion for data storytelling\, this latest project represents the intersection of education\, history\, and emerging tech. Over the past few years\, the Queens native has split time working for The Knowledge House and studying with the Community Sensor Lab at the Advanced Science Research Center in Harlem. He is currently showcasing Du Bois Does Data\, the first offering from the Radical Imagination Cultural Technology Studio.

SUMMARY:CUNY AI Lab’s Inference Arcade
DESCRIPTION:The CUNY AI Lab (CAIL) is a faculty- and staff-led initiative based at the Graduate Center that supports experimentation with AI by teachers and researchers across disciplines. Funded by the Office of Academic Affairs and jointly administered by Graduate Center Digital Initiatives\, the Teaching and Learning Center\, the Mina Rees Library\, and the American Social History Project\, the Lab builds infrastructure aligned with the university’s public-serving mission. Our experimental tools frame generative AI as a set of techniques that can be prototyped\, evaluated\, and iteratively developed\, with user agency and explicit retention policies at the center of our approach to critical making and public advocacy. \nDuring our demo at NYC PIT Pop Up\, visitors will be encouraged to explore Agent Studio (a tool that facilitates research workflows for data exploration and visualization)\, Site Studio (a tool to build websites through conversation)\, and our dedicated sandbox environment (via Open WebUI) for general experimentation. We will also showcase media processing tools for image description\, audio transcription\, and optical character recognition. Lastly\, visitors will be able to try our game-based applications\, which include Cloze Reader (an AI-enabled reading game featuring Project Gutenberg texts)\, JeopardyLM (a customizable game-based learning tool)\, and a prototype where visitors can prompt AI models to play games and evaluate their performance in real time.
