Prototyping the Idiotic City / Conference
*Prototyping the Idiotic City* <br> <br> <br> <br>*Goldsmiths –– RHB 137* <br>*Tues 5 June 2018 @ 9:30AM –> 4:30PM* <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>*Participants* <br> <br>*Alison Powell*, London School of Economics <br> <br>*Gyorgyi Galik*, Royal College of Art, London/Umbrellium <br> <br>*Jennifer Gabrys*, University of Goldsmiths <br> <br>*Mike Michael*, University of Exeter <br> <br>*Noortje Marres*, CIM, University of Warwik <br> <br>*Ola Söderström*, University of Neuchâtel <br> <br>*Uriel Fogué*, ESAYA, UEM <br> <br> <br> <br>CISP & Fondecyt N°1180062 <br> <br> <br>*Abstract * <br> <br> <br>In recent years, the notion of smartness has gained pervasive prominence in <br>various spheres of social life and the ways that cities can be known, <br>planned and governed. Data collection is now enabled through embedded <br>sensors and devices in urban space, particularly in the development of the <br>Internet of Things. Autonomous mobility and other smart city initiatives <br>make cities appear to be manageable and controllable in (near) real-time <br>through smart analytics and dashboards. In developing these innovations, <br>new modes of laboratorization and experimentation are deployed in order to <br>test technological ‘solutions’. Against the grain of a sterile <br>technotopia <br>proposed by the smart city, we want to problematize the various kinds of <br>smartness that are programmed and inscribed into this debate, as well as <br>question the newness of it. What, in other words, are the failures and <br>breakdowns that slow down and counteract the supposed smoothness of the <br>smart city? Through a one-day workshop we invite researchers to creatively <br>incorporate the “murmur of the idiot” (Stengers, 2005) into situations in <br>which new relationships with our ‘smart’ surroundings can be built. <br>During <br>the event, each presenter discusses an idiotic object or situation. Each <br>speaker, together with the audience, will then try to further the idiocy of <br>other speakers cases. <br> <br> <br>For more information see the attached. <br> <br> <br>*Organising committee* <br> <br>- Michael Guggenheim (Goldsmiths, University of London) <br> <br>- Martin Tironi (School of Design, Pontificia <br>Universidad Católica de Chile) <br> <br>- Liam Healy (Goldsmiths, University of London) <br> <br>- Fabian Namberger (Goldsmiths, University of London) <br> <br> <br> <br>Event is free, please register here: https://idiotic-cities.eventbrite.co.uk <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>--- <br>Martin Tironi, PhD <br> <br>Visiting Fellow (2018) <br>Centre of Invention and Social Process <br>Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London <br>- <br>Assistant Professor <br>Escuela de Diseño <br>Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile <br>TheSmartCitizenProject.cl <br>cosmopolitical-design-project <br> <br>Publicaciones <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>[demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pdf which had a name of 180510_idiotic_city_poster_web.pdf] <br> <br>[demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pdf which had a name of Prototyping the Idiotic City_Conference.pdf] <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
