The Cities Seminar meets monthly during the academic year, and features a combination of guest speakers and focused group readings and discussions.

The theme for the 2010-2011 seminar is “New Directions in Urbanism”. Our concern will be not only to identify and think through the implications of new (or newly recognized) urban forms, but also to address new concepts and paradigms in urban theory.

How are cities – and city life – changing in response to developments such as globalization, transnational migration, new media culture, and environmental engineering?
How does cultural production – ranging from literature and the visual arts to architecture and design – inform or contribute to those changes? What value do critical concepts such as the cosmopolitan, the global, the exurban, and the postmetropolitan have in current debates about cities?
What new concepts and categories do we need to address emergent urban scenes and new formations of urban identity?
Engaging with such questions, the Cities Seminar aims to stimulate open discussion, exchange, and debate on key urban topics within the humanities and beyond.

http://www.v2.nl/events/test_lab-the-invisible-city

As Italo Calvino illustrates in his classic novel Invisible Cities, the notion of ‘city’ extends far beyond its visible physical architecture. A city is characterized as much by the ways in which its urban life is organized, the problems and threats it faces and the memories, desires and fears of its inhabitants, as by the buildings and spaces that define its physical form. Due to the rapid and ongoing process of urbanization – resulting in half of humanity now living in urban environments – we are forced to radically rethink our cities. While we can see our physical urban environments transforming at a rapid pace however, who is rethinking the ‘invisible’ counterparts that Calvino wrote about almost forty years ago?

Artists, architects, and designers play an important role in revealing ‘invisible’ aspects of cities, often providing new insights into how our cities function and develop. To rethink the ‘invisible city’ under the pressure of rapid urbanization, this edition of Test_Lab will feature a selection of freshly graduated artists, architects, and designers from European art and design academies whose projects explore the invisible aspects of our contemporary urban environments. The selected projects range from artistic representations of invisible cities, to simulations of urban economy and concrete scenarios for urban production and energy development. As it is custom to the Test_Lab event series, the audience will form the critical test panel for the demonstrated works and will be invited to examine each graduation project ‘hands-on’.

The evening kicks off with an introduction by the Rotterdam-based urban mapping expert Theo Deutinger, features a special opening of Disrupting Systems (see inset), and closes with a live music set about one of the world’s most conflict-ridden places.

City Centered is a free, three-day festival of locative media and urban community in San Francisco. The event includes demonstrations and installations in the Tenderloin district, a symposium in the Mission district and community training workshops.

Over two weekends, it will engage artists, educators, civic organizations and community members of all ages in exploring how how locative media can act as a platform and venue for community-led expression.

The 3rd MediaCity conference will investigate how new media re-define social settings and urban spaces and how they influence architecture as well as media art & design in urban contexts, thus constituting new social and cultural practices.

Today, media create opportunities for diverse forms of connections between people and spaces, enabling and forming flows of information. New digital places for information and communication emerge, and the context of existing spaces is transformed by the joint impact of media and architecture, thus leading to new forms of social and cultural practices. The public sphere, the communication in ubiquitous networks, and the interaction with digital content will be a thematic focus. The conference addresses different approaches and methods of research. It will consist of three sessions and a workshop, exploring these themes in a focused way.

+++++ Session 1: MediaArchitecture +++++

Talks focus on the complex integration and mutual dependency, and the amalgamation of media and architecture. The innovative integration of contemporary media in architecture produces new forms of design and construction of the built environment, and challenges traditional models for how we conceive, perceive and interact within physical space. Best-practice examples from current architecture, urban space, and models and visions for the future will be presented.

+++++ Session 2: Social Practices and Public Spheres +++++

Talks focus on the implications of media in architectural and urban space on social practices. The cultural, social, political, and economical phenomena of the encounter between media and urban space will be investigated.

+++++ Session 3: Interaction and Engagement +++++

Encounters with interactive media and digital art & design, embedded in architectural and urban spaces, and their influence on cultural phenomena, is the main topic of the talks and presentations.

+++++ Workshops +++++

The workshop program will provide an opportunity to explore the conference themes in a more practical and experimental way. It aims to create an open and informal dialogue about the topics and methods, thus providing a forum for participants to share ideas, knowledge and technical experience. The workshops will offer insight into new technological developments. Examples from architecture and urban planning, as well as media art & design, will present new applications and interpretations for mobile and embedded media. Students of all levels are particularly welcome to submit works for this program, especially if they have demos or showcases of projects they would like to present to a wider audience. The workshops will be an opportunity to gain feedback and advice on these works.

+++++ Submission +++++

We are inviting academics, practitioners and activists to submit scientific papers for the conference and less formal presentations on practices for the workshop session. The submissions should be close to disciplines such as architecture, media art & design, urban studies, cultural and urban geography and sociology, using innovative ways and reflecting critically on processes, methods and impacts of public participation and technologies in the urban realm, within their theoretical and practical research, teaching, or activism roles.

- Please submit a paper of 2 to 4 pages as an extended abstract.

The conference language will be English.
- Papers will be submitted to external review by an international selected scientific committee (to be announced at the website).

The authors of accepted papers will have the chance to talk at the conference and present their work to an international scientific audience. Please note that accommodation and traveling expenses will not be reimbursed and registration fees for the conference apply for speakers accepted through the open call. This conference is organized by the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and co-funded by DFG.

Selected papers from the conference will be published in a digital, post-conference volume

De Berlijnse muur is weg, maar door het scherm van je mobiele telefoon is hij gewoon weer te zien, precies waar hij ooit stond. De techniek die het mogelijk maakt: Augmented Reality, en het is nu enorm in het nieuws. Ook in Nederland, want een van de grote spelers is het Nederlandse bedrijf Layar.

http://www.setuputrecht.nl/content/unma-4

Deze avond een blik op de toekomst van deze spannende technologie. Wat zijn de mogelijkheden, maar vooral: waar gaat het geen? Zetten we binnenkort allemaal virtuele objecten op straat? Gaan we buiten op virtuele monsters jagen in AR games?

We stellen ook kritische vragen, zoals: zijn AR browsers wel echte browsers? Met een webbrowser kun je elke webpagina bekijken. Maar hoe zit dat met AR Browsers op je mobiel, komt daar ook een standaard voor? En: hoe kunnen we het beste hype van werkelijkheid scheiden?

Sprekers (in aanbouw):

Wikitude (toegezegd)
Een van de vroege spelers is het Oostenrijkse Wikitude.

Layar (searching..)
De Amsterdamse start-up is een van de grote spelers.

Wolfgang Hurst (toegezegd)
AR Researcher bij de Universiteit van Utrecht

With the participation of Platoniq, Douglas Repetto, and the working group formed by Andrés Burbano, Alejandro Araque, Alejandro Duque, and Alejandro Tamayo.

Interactivos?’10 is a workshop which develops projects gathering and putting into action collaboration and local urban knowledge networks using free software and hardware technologies and “Do It Yourself” (DIY) and “Do It With Others”(DIWO) methods.

Lisbon – September 7th, 2010
In conjunction with Mobile HCI 2010

Mission
Given their status as a preeminent form of social interaction, mobile phone conversations have been the subject of relatively limited investigation, in terms of social behavior. This leaves open a major gap when two important developments take place. On one hand, Mobile HCI often deals with advanced mobile phones containing a large number of sensors (e.g., GPS, accelerometers, magnetometers, capacitive touch) and with sufficient processing power to capture with unprecedented richness behavior and context of users (e.g., position, movement, hand grip, proximity of social network members, gait type, auditory context). On the other hand, the computing community, in particular Social Signal Processing (SSP), makes significant efforts towards automatic understanding (via analysis of verbal and nonverbal behavior) of social interactions captured with multiple sensors.

This workshop bridges the above mentioned gap by gathering SSP and Mobile HCI researchers. Cross-pollination will identify research questions at the frontier between the two domains bringing significant novelty in both SSP and Mobile HCI.

Important Dates
Full paper submission: May 30th, 2010
Notification of Acceptance: June 20th, 2010
Camera ready paper submission: June 30th, 2010
Workshop: September 7th, 2010

Workshop articles will be published in a volume of the Springer LNCS series and participants are
expected to submit six to eight pages long papers in LNCS/LNAI format.

Topics
Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):
• Conversational behavior analysis
• Social Location and Context – measurement, analysis and use
• SSP in design of mobile interactions
• SSP in mobile entertainment and wellbeing
• Databases and SSP based content retrieval
• Cognitive modeling, automatic understanding, and synthesis of social phenomena

The widespread employment and adoption of ubiquitous computing, sensor networks and mobile media into the urban environment have unforeseen implications for how our cultures might come to use networked digital resources to change the way we understand, build, and inhabit cities. Visible Cities presents a revolving programme on how emerging technologies are changing the cities we live in.

The mission of VURB is to investigate the consequences of the convergence of ubiquitous computing onto public, urban spaces. We are now entering an era where technology begins to weave together the desires of citizens and the services available to them in their environment in realtime. But what does the use of these new systems look like? Visible Cities tries to find the answers.

In The Urban Spectator, I look at how practices of media spectatorship, from the handheld camera to radio and television and the digital computer, have influenced the way Americans have experienced and ultimately designed their cities.

Taking photographs, viewing movies, listening to radio, using a computer, doing a Google search on a mobile phone, these are all methods of seeing the world by collecting artifacts of the world. I call this possessive spectatorship. And the American city, developing late in the 19th century and in parallel with new technologies such as hand held photography and cinema, has, from its beginning, been influenced by this spectatorship. The American city, I argue, is a product of possessive spectatorship such that its history is entangled with the history of media consumption.

The Urban Spectator is not meant to be a history of the American city. Instead, it identifies moments of clarity where media practices and urban practices overlap, where seeing and possessing the city inform being in the city, and in some cases, the design of the city. The Urban Spectator is a series of vignettes, assembled to produce the semblance of a whole, just as media representations possessed by the spectator are assembled to produce a legible experience of the city. It is a poetic reflection on urbanism and spectatorship that seeks to make connections where before there were none. Looking at the city and looking through media are intimately connected phenomena.
