Deadly Glass
Bruce Hammond
On the 12th June 2014 the Directors of Paramodic Pty and the researcher met with Cultural Advisor, Tagnekeld Elder Bruce Hammond online via Google Hangouts to discuss the ramifications of Google Glass on Aboriginal communities, triggering the formation of the ‘Deadly Glass’ Google Plus Online (G+) Community to discuss and investigate why these technologies were appearing on Australian shores and in communities without proper consultation with Traditional Owners across Australia.
“... We had word that a Google Glass Explorer from the United States of America had already met with a number of communities scoping projects utilising this emergent technology. To counteract claims that no one was in the development space and dutifully engaged in the socio-ethical interrogation and responsible data management emanating from the use of this technology”.
