Last year at the School of Data NYC, we ran a co-design session that provided inputs into open-source design patterns and tools to imagine how we might increase digital transparency in the public realm.
For this year’s workshop, we will report back on the designs that were created and released, and share an update on the current round of prototyping that seeks to move beyond the starting point of transparency towards accountability in the way digital technologies are incorporated into the places we live - for more info see < https://process.dtpr.dev >.
During the session, participants will provide feedback on the DTPR system to inform the direction of the project and improve the prototypes, helping advance a conversation on what digital transparency, accountability, and trust in the built environment could look like.
NOTE: Jacqueline and Eugene will be presenting remotely. The workshop will be facilitated in-person at School of Data by Ariel Kennan, Alyssa Dizon, Cara Eckholm and Brian Ho. We will open up a Hangout at https://tinyurl.com/dtpr-qanda at the end of the session so that we can answer any questions.
