 My name is Joanne Chung and I'm a graduate student in the Harvard Graduate School of Design. I'm a fellow at Berkman this year. I'm an artist and an architect. So this year I'm developing an analytical framework for looking at public space, so physical space, all the stuff around us, and discourse on the internet. My background is in the fine arts, so I've always cared about how to communicate something, how something appears to someone not for my own discipline. And a lot of this came from, well I guess two things. One is that the very jarring experience of the past election, and realizing that geographically my understanding of the country that I live in is very different than what I thought it was. And also the summer I became an American citizen. And so learning everything about the democratic process was really interesting. And I thought that I wanted to understand how my own discipline intersected with the political process. There's no opting out of the existing in the system. And I think now that everyone's so deeply connected, I think that's also, you know, the other side of that is we're all more alienated from the subjects of our actions. So whether they're intentional or unintentional or accidental. And so I think kind of making those connections visible is really important now. And of course I always go back to that William Gibson quote, the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed. But then I go back and think about my own discipline which is dealing with land and buildings. And I was thinking, well like the future doesn't distribute itself. Like has land ever been evenly distributed? I can't think of something that has. And so a lot of that comes down to human agency. It comes down to decisions humans make. I think it's not technology doing the work, it's people doing the work. And so maybe that gives me some worry. It scares me because I want to define who those humans are. But it also gives me a little bit of hope because, you know, I'm a human, we all are. So there is potential for making change.
