SUMMARY:USP Productions: The Dark Web
DESCRIPTION:Show time:\n• 2 February (Friday) and 3 February (Saturday)\, evening show @ 8pm\n• 4 February (Sunday)\, matinee @ 3pm \nThe Dark Web plays host to the worst of human depravity and the best of its dreams\, shielded from real life by the screen of anonymity. But the veil only goes one way: you don’t know them\, but they know you. Watch as one unsuspecting family finds their lives thrown into disarray by the insidious machinations of those behind the veil. \nThe Dark Web is a play that examines the culture and implications surrounding the part of the internet known as the ‘dark web’\, where users and their activities are concealed behind layers of anonymity and encryption\, and content ranges from the innocuous and noble to the depraved and frightening. At its core\, however\, the play is centred around its characters and their stories\, serving as a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition. \nContent Warning – This play contains mature and potentially disturbing themes. Viewer discretion is advised. Please click here for more information. \nBlack Box\, National Library Board

SUMMARY:The Sessions: Voluntourism & Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Volunteering internationally is rarely just about doing good or being responsible to the “Third World”. USP alum Prof Sin Harng Luh\, now working in the NUS Department of Geography\, has written critical articles questioning the role of voluntourism in encouraging performed dependencies\, and in the inherently biased power structures in the host-volunteer relationships. Yet\, rarely would she tell people not to volunteer – in fact\, she often strongly encourage volunteering. Why? Come find out at our first Sessions event of the year! \nSign up here: tinyurl.com/tourismsession

SUMMARY:USP Lecture Talks: Getting Computer to See
DESCRIPTION:In this new USP Lecture Series\, we have Computer Scientist A/P Terence Sim from NUS School of Computing to share with us on “Getting Computer to See”. Cameras are everywhere\, recording images of everyday life. But computers still don’t understand very well what these images contain. Image understanding is the core problem in computer vision\, and it is a much harder problem than meets the eye (pun intended). This session will give an overview of the different sub fields in computer vision\, the progress so far\, and why you should learn computer vision. \nAll USP students are encouraged to attend this session. Registration is open to all NUS community. \nRead more about the talk and speaker HERE.
