Synthetic Digital Ecologies

ACADIA | 2012 Conference. "The conference will highlight experimental research and projects that explore the reciprocity and synergy between bits and atoms, the digital and the physical, and between digital code and material logic. The conference will bring together designers, researchers and practitioners who engage, question and aspire to stretch these boundaries. Architects, fabricators, engineers, media artists, technologists, hackers and others in related fields of inquiry are invited to participate."

Happiness Takes (A Little) Magic

"...clicking the like button 1 billion times will never give you an orgasm or a hug or a high five....Get on, make the most meaningful information and connections, and then get offline. Then, live purposefully towards happiness."

Mind vs. Machine

"As computers have mastered rarefied domains once thought to be uniquely human, they simultaneously have failed to master the ground-floor basics of the human experience—spatial orientation, object recognition, natural language, adaptive goal-setting—and in so doing, have shown us how impressive, computationally and otherwise, such minute-to-minute fundamentals truly are." from The Atlantic.

again with the post digital

"Post Digital was a suggestion that, maybe, we needed to get over that and start thinking about the next phase, the phase where it got integrated into the world. What will we do, I was asking, when we can take all this connectivity for granted? When it’s no longer special or interesting? What will we build then?"

It’s the end of the web as we know it

"The promise of the open web looks increasingly uncertain...But all the things that matter will be controlled and owned by a very small number of Big Web companies. Your identity will be your accounts at Facebook, Google and Twitter, not the domain name you own."

The Web and the Wisdom of Crowds

"I've got no larger point here, other than that this yet another reminder (at least for me) that we should be suspicious of large points, especially when it comes to the web. Like everything else, the internet remains a flurry of contradictions. It makes us stupider and smarter."

When We're Cowed by the Crowd

"And yet, while the Web has enabled new forms of collective action, it has also enabled new kinds of collective stupidity. Groupthink is now more widespread, as we cope with the excess of available information by outsourcing our beliefs to celebrities, pundits and Facebook friends. Instead of thinking for ourselves, we simply cite what's already been cited."

MIT SENSEable City Lab

The increasing deployment of sensors and hand-held electronics in recent years is allowing a new approach to the study of the built environment. The way we describe and understand cities is being radically transformed - alongside the tools we use to design them and impact on their physical structure. Studying these changes from a critical point of view and anticipating them is the goal of the SENSEable City Laboratory, a new research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Living Off the Land

Off-planet, “green” lifestyles aren’t just fashionable, they’re required. Any eventual residents of a lunar base or Martian habitat will almost certainly be vegetarians, and thrift will be crucial for survival. “You must strive to recycle virtually every atom of everything that you’ve brought with you,” Dixon says. “And the technology required to achieve that is exactly what we need here on Earth to reduce our environmental imprint and create more sustainable ecosystems, all so we can manage to survive here a bit longer than we otherwise might.”
