Nextcity
Evento “Nextcity: The Art of Possible”, discute em NY as trasnformações do espaço urbano frente as novas tecnologias digitais de informação, particularmente aquelas com potência locativa (celulares, GPS e ações de mapeamentos, tracking, tags, realidade aumentada, etc). O evento só confirma (com outros que tenho apresentado aqui) a importância dessas questões não só para engenheiros e urbanistas, mas atmbém para artistas e estudiosos da comunicação. (Via Rhizome | Events):
“Whether invoked in the production of architectural form, the representation of urban space, or our interface to the locative and other services newly available there, emergent digital technologies are rapidly changing both the face of our cities and our daily experience of them. Dynamic maps update in real time; garments and spaces deform in response to environmental, biological and even psychological conditions. We find our very emotions made visible, public, and persistently retrievable. Somewhere along the way, we find our notions of public space, participation, and what it means to be urban undergoing the most profound sort of change. This entry in the New Silent Series presents recent projects that explore these conditions, and blur the boundaries between art, design and technological development. A conversation with Eric Rodenbeck of Stamen Design, J. Meejin Yoon and Christian Nold, moderated and introduced by Everyware author Adam Greenfield.”
