JVC GY HM700U- dubbed Backtalk

For the project,Thinkpad w510, dubbed Backtalk,JVC GY HM700U, researchers sent refurbished netbooks to developing countries via nonprofit organizations. They set up the computers to record location and pictures,Panasonic AG HVX200A, and send the data home to MIT--with their new owners' consent. The netbooks carried stickers explaining the project in the local language.
The images are random windows into the everyday lives of people in developing countries. At once dreamlike and voyeuristic,THINKPAD T400S, they introduce an exotic remoteness to otherwise mundane scenes: a home in India,Lenovo ThinkPad X201T, a classroom in Ghana,Panasonic AG-HMC70, a shop in Nepal.

The researchers captured the data using the open-source antitheft software Prey,Alienware M14x, which records a computer's GPS coordinates and takes a picture with the computer's camera every 20 minutes.
The information [the netbooks] report back offers firsthand perspectives--glimpses into e-waste recycling villages,ASUS G73SW-XT1, local thrift stores,Panasonic AG-DVX100B, public schools,Sony HXR-NX5U, and libraries--that prompt a reflection on our society's relationship with our electronic devices.
The MIT team used the data to build visual narratives about the computers' new lives. Here's a summary from the project Web site:

Rather than simply providing statistics about the global flows of secondhand electronics and e-waste,thinkpad t510, the MIT Senseable City Lab researchers produced a series of images of the gadgets' new owners and their surroundings. The images hail from Indonesia,JVC GZ-HD40, South Asia,Sony NEXVG10 Interchangeable Lens Handycam Camcorder, and Africa.

Images from the backtalk project will be shown as part of Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects,ELITE 8540W, an exhibit opening July 24 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
