I made a few interactive art installations last year using SDXL Turbo with a multi-GPU on-site setup. After we got a request to show a piece in Europe, I researched whether it would be possible to run the installation in the cloud instead o

super fascinating to see this comment! it gave me the chance to take a step through my memories, and try to guess who might have felt this way. if i was an asshole to you and never apologized, send me a message and i would be very happy to

my impression was that apple initiated contact based on an assumption that i was running a keylogger or other information that could be used for identity theft. they quickly learned it was an art project but decided to apply force via the s

author here. i'm deeply, genuinely grateful that you all care enough to revisit and discuss this decade-old work. special thanks to throwayyy479087 for stirring some shit on my behalf, saving me the work of creating a sock puppet just

Real change should come from a reduction first, then offsetting what you can't reduce (until you can). So, in theory, yes. And probably for much less even, because there is still a lot of lower-priced carbon credits/offsets that a

Just want to say thanks again for the great comment. I was following Van Buren, and it was a certainly vindication. I agree with you there is a push and pull. Here's hoping that debate & discussion that needs to happen plays out in

Wow, incredible response! I appreciate you taking the time to respond :) I am very familiar with Aaron's case. I think your analysis is correct: some people believe I made a bad judgement call, and the CFAA is broad enough that this cr

Thanks for spending time thinking through some of this :) I think it "felt like 30" because I was nervous. Not because I thought it was illegal or unethical, but because I was breaking social norms. I see this as different from ac

OP here. Thank you for sharing this. I'm lucky in that this is the only bad knock I've had. And after a few years this effect slowly disappeared for me.

Hi, OP here. Do I know you? Thanks for your thoughts :) I would hope that anyone evaluating this project today not look at it alone, but examine it as part of a much larger body of work I've made since around that time. By itself, it w

OP here. The only reason I wasn't charged is because AUSA Judith Philips refused to prosecute me. Also, Aaron Swartz was investigated by both the FBI and the USSS.

OP here. syshum has it correct. If you take a photo with your lens on one side of the Apple Store's massive glass wall, it is legally the same from a privacy perspective as taking a photo on the other side (unless Apple explicitly forb

Hi, OP here. Just some technical clarification. There were two apps. The first one took a photo once a minute and uploaded it to a PHP script on my server. Apple probably identified this one because it sent a ping to my server even when it

Hi, OP here. Just wanted to add one point of technical clarification: it wasn't a RAT, it was a C++ app that used the QuickTime SDK to connect to the camera, OpenCV to run face detection, and curl to regularly send the results to a hac

OP here. Not going to disagree about folks underestimating where the real danger is. But the fear of photography is not unfounded. There are many examples of people suffering from being captured in public settings. Sometimes it is because o

OP here. Just to clarify, this piece was not primarily designed for the Apple Store audience. I felt that it was important to exhibit the photos in the store, but I knew that the majority of the folks who heard about it would see it online.

OP here. Thanks for taking the time to share the (scary) connection you made while reading. While this story has been picked up by security folks, I am definitely not a security researcher :) This project did help me to think more explicitl

Hi, if you have any reference on why I needed consent to install an app in the Apple Store, I would love to hear! Because the case never went to court I didn't get a chance to hear a prosecutor spell it out. And my attorney at the time

Regarding the "legal" part, having looked into this quite deeply, I believe I was legally in the clear. Both in terms of of publishing the photographs and in terms of installing the app. Keep in mind this was 2011. To install the

Hi, I think I can answer (I am Kyle). tl;dr: It barely worked for many years, but I have since been able to find more & larger grants for my art, and get better paying consulting work on the side. Full story—first, income. Some examples

Thanks! I think you are correct, after the successful completion I added that statement as a safety before deleting all other previous attempts. Reading this code again it really could have used the data more efficiently to predict the corr
