Lai Yi Ohlsen

Tue, Aug 1, 2023    12pm

How tall is the Internet?

What does it mean to measure the Internet? And how can the measurements themselves inform its evolution? Together we will consider how open data, and particularly open Internet measurement data, can both reveal and influence the key networks of decision making through which industry, policy, standards organizations and academic research are inextricably, though sometimes imperceptibly, connected.

Lai Yi Ohlsen is an artist, writer and researcher whose work considers systems and the narratives of their histories. She is the Lead Data Scientist at Measurement Lab, where she studies the evolution of the Internet, and a part-time lecturer at The New School where she teaches Critical Computation, Core Lab: Systems and Statistics & Society. She was a 2019 Artist in Residence at Movement Research, a Year 8 Member of New Inc’s Art + Code Track in partnership with Rhizome and was a Spring 2020 Technology Resident at Pioneer Works. Her work has been shown at Tech Zine Fair, Movement Research’s Fall Festival, New York Art Book Fair, the Internet Archive’s Decentralized Web Summit and Our Networks. She loves the Phoenix Suns and the New York Knicks (in that order) and will talk to you about basketball anytime.

Organized by the M.S. in Computational Design Practices Program.
