Baixar Baixar Editorial vol. 36 n.1 Revista Contracampo Caras leitoras e leitores, O volume 36 número 1 da Revista Contracampo, do PPGCOM da Universidade Federal Fluminense, inaugura duas importantes mudanças concernentes à divulgação científica: 1) a publicação dos artigos em português e inglês e 2) a implementação da dinâmica Ahead of Print. A primeira mudança visa um processo de internacionalização da revista, ampliando a interlocução com pesquisadores de outros países, enquanto a segunda tem como objetivo proporcionar mais agilidade e rapidez na disseminação do conhecimento. Os artigos aqui reunidos, de autoria de pesquisadoras e pesquisadores de instituições diversas do país, trazem objetos, questões, fundamentação teórica e análises distintos, compondo uma edição de temáticas livres. Contudo, destaca-se que três dos trabalhos que fazem parte deste número trazem discussões que envolvem televisão, ainda que a partir de olhares distintos. O artigo intitulado “Natureza, paisagem e representação na fotografia de Claudia Jaguaribe”, de Fernando Gonçalves (UERJ), apresenta uma análise de cinco trabalhos da série “Quando eu vi”, e problematiza, a partir dela, a ideia de fotografia enquanto representação testemunhal de um real, propondo, ao contrário, que seja entendida enquanto construção imagética, mediadora e moduladora de percepções. Já em “Tempos e lugares da Rádio Rebelde Zapatista: as ritualidades dos usos sociais” Ismar Costa Filho (UFC) apresenta pesquisa feita a partir de análise das ritualidades (proposta por 2 Martín-Barbero) da programação da rádio, bem como entrevistas com seus ouvintes. O autor aponta que a rádio rompe com uma temporalidade “industrial”, reforçando a defesa de autonomia e autogestão não apenas em seus conteúdos como sua própria organização temporal, atrelada ainda às experiências dos ouvintes e do movimento zapatista. Passando para uma discussão sobre o uso da categoria “classe social” em estudos de recepção no Brasil, Rafael Grohmann (FIAM-FAAM e USP) traz levantamento de 16 teses e dissertações defendidas entre 2010 e 2014 em Programas de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação no país e conclui, dentre outros aspectos, que a dimensão dos conflitos de classe tem sido pouco valorizada em tais pesquisas e que ela deveria ser pensada enquanto um conceito “em movimento”, que faz parte dos processos e relações comunicacionais. Partindo para temática distinta, João Ladeira (Unisinos) traz artigo que discute a difusão de conteúdos televisivos na contemporaneidade a partir de dispositivos das empresas Google e Apple. O autor argumenta que os fluxos de transmissão de conteúdos a partir delas envolve uma tríade de objetos – smart TVs, tablets ou smartphones e aplicativos de conteúdo – que ganham relevância a partir necessariamente da sua interconexão, gerando um formato televisivo que opera com lógicas distintas de funcionamento. Yvana Fechine (UFPB), por sua vez, problematiza o conceito de TV Social, argumentando que o termo tem sido utilizado de modo impreciso para se referir ao ato de se fazer comentários em sites de redes sociais acerca de programas televisivos. A autora defende que o termo deve ser acionado para se referir a um tipo específico de conversação, em rede, que é mediado por tecnologias digitais interativas e parte das estratégias das próprias empresas de comunicação. Em “O ‘pão que o diabo amassou’ é a melhor dieta: internautas e telespectadores de programa de TV compartilham 3 3 relatos de humilhação, sofrimento e superação na conquista de emagrecimento e autoestima” Tania Silva (Fiocruz) e Kátia Lerner (Fiocruz) focam nas relações entre “corpo, visibilidade e processos de subjetivação” a partir de coleta de narrativas de espectadores do programa Bem Estar (TV Globo) ao site G1. As autoras mostram como os relatos, por um lado, parecem cumprir a função de aumentar uma ideia de autoestima dos que conseguem perder peso, mas, por outro, reiteram sentidos negativos produzidos sobre a gordura e a obesidade, tidas como elementos vexatórios. Por fim, Leonardo De Marchi (UERJ / USP) tece considerações relevantes, a partir de estudo de caso, sobre o mercado fonográfico brasileiro na contemporaneidade, mediado pela cultura digital. O autor ressalta, dentre outros aspectos, a importância de se repensar a distribuição financeira proveniente do comércio eletrônico e a obsolescência da lei brasileira de direitos autorais em um cenário de disponibilização de conteúdo musical em plataformas como o YouTube, levantando questões sobre possibilidades de intervenção estatal para regularização deste mercado. Esperamos que a leitura seja proveitosa e aproveitamos para informar que a próxima edição, vol. 36 n. 2, contará com artigos de temas livres. Cordialmente, Beatriz Polivanov e Thaiane Oliveira.

O texto busca evidenciar como em seus trabalhos a imagem fotográfica constitui ao mesmo tempo material expressivo e uma reflexão sobre as lógicas que organizam nossos modos de ver e de mostrar o mundo. Para tanto, serão analisados cinco trabalhos da série e os procedimentos realizados pela artista para problematizar as noções de “natureza” e de “paisagem” na fotografia. Os questionamentos da artista inscrevem-se nas discussões realizadas na arte contemporânea sobre o arquivo, onde fotografia não é tratada apenas como informação visual, mas como dispositivo que permite discutir sistemas e códigos de representação e a paisagem, como um dispositivo que modula nossas percepções e relações com os espaços naturais e construídos. Palavras-chave Fotografia; Paisagem; Arte; Documento; Representação. Abstract This article aims to discuss the construction of images in Claudia Jaguaribe’s na- ture landscape photographs in the series "Quando eu vi". The text seeks to demon- strate how in Jaguaribe’s work photographs constitute at once expressive materials and a reflection on the logics which organizes our forms of seeing and of showing the world. Therefore, the text will examine five works from the mentioned series and review the procedures performed by the artist to critically discuss the notions of "nature" and "landscape" in photography. The questions raised by the artist are part of the discussion on the archive in contemporary art where photography is considered as device which allows to discuss systems and codes of representation and the landscape is seen as a device which modulates our perceptions and rela- tions with natural and constructed spaces. Keywords Photography; Landscape; Art; Document; Representation. 7 Introdução O presente artigo discute os processos de construção da imagem e a noção de paisagem natural nos trabalhos que compõem a série fotográfica Quando eu vi (2007), da artista carioca Claudia Jaguaribe. O texto argumenta que em seus trabalhos a imagem fotográfica constitui ao mesmo tempo material expressivo e uma reflexão sobre as lógicas que organizam nossos modos de ver e de mostrar o mundo. A discussão proposta pelo texto se inscreve nas reflexões sobre o papel que a fotografia contemporânea1 parece ter hoje na redefinição dos parâmetros de apreensão e mediação da experiência social através da imagem. Para diversos autores dos campos da Filosofia, da História da Arte e da Fotografia, as imagens no campo da arte constituem um fenômeno não negligenciável por discutirem a questão da representação e dos regimes de enunciação do visível na fotografia. Ao inventariar e discutir nossos sistemas de representação, muitos trabalhos de fotografia na arte contemporânea

    Smartwatch Security Research TREND MICRO | 2015 Smartwatch Security Research Overview This report commissioned by Trend Micro in partnership with First Base Technologies reveals the security flaws of six popular smartwatches. The research involved stress testing these devices for physical protection, data connections and information stored to provide definitive results on which ones pose the biggest risk with regards to data loss and data theft. Summary of Findings • Physical device protection is poor, with only the Apple Watch having a lockout facility based on a timeout. The Apple Watch is also the only device which allowed a wipe of the device after a set number of failed login attempts. • All the smartwatches had local copies of data which could be accessed through the watch interface when taken out of range of the paired smartphone. If a watch were stolen, any data already synced to the watch would be accessible. The Apple Watch allowed access to more personal data than the Android or Pebble devices. • All of the smartwatches we tested were using Bluetooth encryption and TLS over WiFi (for WiFi enabled devices), so consideration has obviously been given to the security of data in transit. • Android phones can use ‘trusted’ Bluetooth devices (such as smartwatches) for authentication. This means that the smartphone will not lock if it is connected to a trusted smartwatch. Were the phone and watch stolen together, the thief would have full access to both devices. • Currently smartwatches do not allow the same level of interaction as a smartphone; however it is only a matter of time before they do.

  • Wearable Haptic Systems for the Fingertip and the Hand: Taxonomy, Review, and Perspectives
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON HAPTICS, VOL. XX, NO. X, XX 20XX 1 Wearable Haptic Systems for the Fingertip and the Hand: Taxonomy, Review, and Perspectives Claudio Pacchierotti, Member, IEEE, Stephen Sinclair, Member, IEEE, Massimiliano Solazzi, Member, IEEE, Antonio Frisoli, Member, IEEE, Vincent Hayward, Fellow, IEEE, Domenico Prattichizzo, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—In the last decade, we have witnessed a drastic change in the form factor of audio and vision technologies, from heavy and grounded machines to lightweight devices that naturally fit our bodies. However, only recently, haptic systems have started to be designed with wearability in mind. The wearability of haptic systems enables novel forms of communication, cooperation, and integration between humans and machines. Wearable haptic interfaces are capable of communicating with the human wearers during their interaction with the environment they share, in a natural and yet private way. This paper presents a taxonomy and review of wearable haptic systems for the fingertip and the hand, focusing on those systems directly addressing wearability challenges. The paper also discusses the main technological and design challenges for the development of wearable haptic interfaces, and it reports on the future perspectives of the field. Finally, the paper includes two tables summarizing the characteristics and features of the most representative wearable haptic systems for the fingertip and the hand. Index Terms—wearable haptics, fingertip haptics, hand exoskeletons, wearable devices, wearable interfaces, cutaneous force feedback, tactile force feedback, taxonomy, review F 1 INTRODUCTION Technology for touching remote objects has typically been the Apple Watch. They are easy and comfortable to wear, used in teleoperation. A robot is controlled as a slave in they often feature a touch screen, and they have functions the remote scenario and a haptic interface feeds back the similar to smartphones.

  • Mole: Motion Leaks Through Smartwatch Sensors
    MoLe: Motion Leaks through Smartwatch Sensors Yi Mao, Ruoxi Li Introduction Question: can we mine accelerometer and gyroscope data from smart watches to infer what words a user is typing? Introduction - Challenges ● Absence of data from the right hand (which is not wearing the watch) ● Issue of inferring which finger executed the key-press ● For a given watch position, a shortlist of keys could have been pressed ● Different users’ habits and keyboard devices Introduction - Opportunities ● the watch motion is mostly confined to the 2D keyboard plane ● The orientation of the watch is relatively uniform across various users ● knowing spelling priors from English dictionary further helps in developing Bayesian decisions. Introduction - Work Motion Leaks (MoLe) ● Device: Samsung Gear Live smartwatch ● Input: ○ 2 authors (attacker) - each typed 500 words for training ○ 8 volunteers (attackee) - each typed 300 words for testing ● Output: K words (ranked in decreasing probability) short-list for each word Introduction - Contributions ● Identifying the possibility of leakage - required building blocks ○ key-press detection ○ hand-motion tracking ○ cross-user data matching ○ Bayesian inference ● Developing the system on Samsung Gear Live ○ experimenting with real users ○ reasonable accuracy ○ Sense of alarm A first look at smart watch data A first look at smart watch data A first look at smart watch data System Overview System Overview System Overview - Assumptions ● The evaluation is performed in a controlled environment where volunteers type one word at a time (as opposed to free-flowing sentences). ● We assume valid English words – passwords that contain interspersed digits, or non-English character-sequences, are not decodable as of now. ● We have used the same Samsung smart watch model for both the attacker and the user – in reality the attacker can generate the CPC for different watch models and use the appropriate one based on the user’s model.

  • Apple Watch (A) – the Launch
    For the exclusive use of m. algoblan, 2021. BAB344 / JULY 2017 Apple Watch (A) – The Launch "In the beginning was Apple. All things were made by it; and without it was not anything made that was made." If technophiles were to write their own Testament, these might be the opening lines. Apple's ability to redefine the appeal of whole categories of computing has attracted the unerring faith of millions of followers. Apple has popularised existing technologies four times: with the Macintosh computer in 1984, the iPod in 2001, the iPhone in 2007 and the iPad in 2010. Recently the faithful have prayed that Apple will pull it off again with its smartwatch. Many firms already make wrist-based devices that measure sleep patterns and exercise, but so far the category has remained a niche plaything for geeks and athletes.1 On September 9, 2014, Apple announced its entry into the wearable computing market with the introduction of the Apple Watch, marking its first new hardware product since the death of Steve Jobs, and since introducing the iPad four years prior. Along with the excitement of typical Apple fans, there was anticipation from other players in the smartwatch industry who wondered how Apple’s entrance would help or hurt their own success. From competitors to component suppliers to application developers, many firms had a stake in Apple’s pricing and promotion strategies for the Apple Watch. Background: The Smartwatch Industry A smartwatch gained much functionality and versatility from connection to a mobile phone which it used for wireless communication and interaction with a variety of applications or apps.
