Nextcity
Evento “Nextcity: The Art of Possible”, discute em NY as trasnformaes do espao urbano frente as novas tecnologias digitais de informao, particularmente aquelas com potncia locativa (celulares, GPS e aes de mapeamentos, tracking, tags, realidade aumentada, etc). O evento s confirma (com outros que tenho apresentado aqui) a importncia dessas questes no s para engenheiros e urbanistas, mas atmbm para artistas e estudiosos da comunicao. (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.”
