You’ll have a chance to play the game Scrapeboard and meet creators Frank DeMarco and Blake Andrews at this year’s Interactive show on June 10!

Scrapeboard is an original game with a custom skateboard deck controller. The game is similar to Dance Dance Revolution, but instead of using your feet, you use the skateboard deck to make your moves on a custom pad. The connection is made with metal on the bottom of the skatedeck connecting to metal on the pad.

Come see Vanessa Rosa’s Little Martians at the Interactive Show Friday June 10!

Little Martians are based on Vanessa Rosa’s ceramic sculptures. They are 3d scanned and then animated with Blender, using motion capture data.
Little Martians are futuristic humanoids who tell stories about humanity and life in the Solar System. There are many doubts about their universe, if they are purely simulated beings or if they carry memories from what used to be humans. Their ancient blockchains are so intertwined with alternative realities that no one can be certain of their past.

Experience Cari Ann Shim Sham’s “Shimmer | small anemone” at the Interactive Show coming up June 10!

Shimmer the singing sea anemone is an immersive inflatable dance, sound & fiber optic light interactive installation that tells the story of climate change and rising sea temperature’s impact upon the ocean. The small anemone exhibited at NYC Resistor is puppeted from the inside, people can enter into it and move the anemone, and also interact with people outside. Fiber optic lights creep out from underneath, and motion based sensors trigger the voices of the anemones, which giggle, squeel, and sing to their audience.

Cyber Risk Insurance: The Inner Workings of a Complex Industry (in person)

Next up in our Live Circuit series of talks:

Cyber! Risk! Insurance! Join to learn about who it’s for, what it does, and doesn’t do, and why it matters with expert Leroy Terrelonge.Date and time

About this event

Sat, May 14, 2022

2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EDT

Pay-What-You-Wish (suggested price $15)

In-Person Tickets or Online Tickets

Join us for a fun and fascinating discussion to open a window into a world that many people know little about. Its impact is significant and growing, affecting for many of us as consumers and employees at companies that work with sensitive data.

 

Leroy Terrelonge is our guest for this talk. He is an expert on Cyber Risk Insurance and is currently a Vice President and Senior Analyst in the Cyber Risk Group at Moody’s Investors Service. He and his team do work that’s frequently referenced in the media, including this report from the Wall Street Journal: “Boards, Security Chiefs Face Challenges Over New Cyber Rules”

 

Other than being a good human, Leroy is exceptional in a number of ways. He speaks English, Russian, Persian (Farsi, Tajik, Dari), Spanish, French, Arabic, Kazakh, and Jamaican Patois and has a significant amount of experience working in the Intelligence Community, conducting research and developing intelligence about a broad range of topics, including cyber crime, national security, and political risk.

 

Gene Radin will lead this session and use his extensive product management experience and specific focus on privacy and security matters in technology to keep things interesting and help to make sure that we all learn something useful.

 

Please join us if…

  • You’re a curious person who wants to hear about an interesting topic.
  • You’re working at a company that doesn’t have a cyber insurance policy and might want or need one
  • You’re starting a business and want to set it up for safety, whether or not you’ll need a policy in the future
  • You’re part of a company that doesn’t have a well developed security or privacy program and have questions about what actions you can take to reduce risk for yourself and other employees, the business, and consumers.

 

Bring your questions!

 

There are two ways to attend this event —people who want to join us in person (proof of full vaccination with K/N95 masks must be worn at all times and are available for anyone who needs one), but you can also participate via an online feed that you can access using Zoom

 

Anyone attending NYC Resistor events is required to follow our code of conduct. Ticket purchases help us to serve our community and keep the doors open at our hacker space in Brooklyn. Learn more about both: https://www.nycresistor.com/participate/

Rainbows and Thermometers: How Languages Divide Spectrums

 Uncategorized  Comments Off on Rainbows and Thermometers: How Languages Divide Spectrums

Wisps of smoke twisting horizontally across with rainbow colors

A tour of how different languages divide the color and heat spectrums with a professional analytical linguist as your guide.

About this event

Wed, Apr 20, 2022, 8:00 PM EDT

Part of our new monthly speaker series NYC Resistor: Live Circuit!

Most humans see color the same way – but our languages divide up the color spectrum very differently. Some languages group all darker shades of the rainbow under 1 single basic color term, and all the darker shades under another – a light sunny sky and a fresh grass would be described with the same term. Some languages thus have fewer color terms than English, while others (Greek, Russian) recognize more partitions of the rainbow.

And color is just one of the fascinating sensation domains that human languages partition differently – the English way of dividing the temperature spectrum is far from standard.

Researchers have has fascinating (and often wrong) ideas about why this is for centuries – Susanne Vejdemo (PhD), who has published both academic and pop-scientific articles on the subject, will challenge the way we think our perceptional world is structured.

This event will be online via Zoom, and tickets will be Pay-What-You-Wish.
