Inner-Eye: Appearance-based Detection of Computer Scams

As more and more inexperienced users gain Internet access, fraudsters are attempting to take advantage of them in new ways. Instead of sophisticated exploitation techniques, simple confidence tricks can be used to create malware that is both very effective and likely to evade detection by traditional security software. Heuristics that detect complex malicious behavior are powerless against some common frauds. This work explores the use of imaging and text-matching techniques to detect typical computer scams such as pharmacy and rogue antivirus frauds. The Inner-Eye system implements the chosen approach in a scalable and efficient manner through the use of virtualization

Drawing Futures

Drawing Futures brings together international designers and artists for speculations in contemporary drawing for art and architecture. Despite numerous developments in technological manufacture and computational design that provide new grounds for designers, the act of drawing still plays a central role as a vehicle for speculation. There is a rich and long history of drawing tied to innovations in technology as well as to revolutions in our philosophical understanding of the world. In reflection of a society now underpinned by computational networks and interfaces allowing hitherto unprecedented views of the world, the changing status of the drawing and its representation as a political act demands a platform for reflection and innovation. Drawing Futures will present a compendium of projects, writings and interviews that critically reassess the act of drawing and where its future may lie. Drawing Futures focuses on the discussion of how the field of drawing may expand synchronously alongside technological and computational developments. The book coincides with an international conference of the same name, taking place at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, in November 2016. Bringing together practitioners from many creative fields, the book discusses how drawing is changing in relation to new technologies for the production and dissemination of ideas
