Keynote speaker
We are happy to announce that Professor Carlo Ratti, Director of the SENSEable City Lab at MIT (senseable.mit.edu), will deliver the keynote presentation at Digital Cities 6.
The real-time city is now real! 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.
Phd thesis on mobile blogging and everyday life
There is a growing interest in Academia in the impact of photosharing and photoblogging via popular services such as Flickr or Tumblr. Not only the very notion of publicly sharing personal pictures challenges common sense in regard to privacy and intellectual property, it also provides rich tools for ethnographic exploration and « witnessing » of everyday life – as recently highlighted by visual historian André Gunthert.
Soren Mork Petersen’ PhD thesis comes as a timely contribution to this research thread: Common Banality: The Affective Character of Photo Sharing, Everyday Life and Produsage Cultures was defended on January 2009 at the ITU Copenhagen – and supervised by an old acquaintance and former colleague of mine, Adrian Mackenzie.
