CONTROL BY DESIGN
UNPACK
TECHNOLOGY WE USE TO ORGANIZE OUR LIVES CONTROLS US
ACCIDENT OR DESIGN?
Jeremy Bentham 1748 – 1832
‘failures’ of colony: that the society was immoral; that 
transported convicts were not reformed; that 
transportation was unjust and borderline illegal; and 
that the convict system was inefficient and hugely 
expensive.
Michel Foucault 1926 – 1984
Sapir–Whorf hypothesis
Robert Moses 1888 – 1981
ONLY TECHNOLOGY 
(SPOT THE ETHICAL DILEMMA?)
TECHNOLOGY MAKES SOCIETY
WHAT DOES THIS DO?
Questions?!

Editor's Notes

  1. Lower Manhattan Expressway Map (Public Domain) Paul Rudolph - Library of Congress The Lower Manhattan Expressway (LOMEX), also known as the Canal Street Expressway, was a controversial plan for an expressway through Lower Manhattan in New York City. It was to be a ten-lane elevated highway stretching from the East River to the Hudson River, connecting the Holland Tunnel on the west side to the Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges to the east. The road would have required the leveling of parts of the Little Italy and SoHo neighborhoods. The LOMEX was originally conceived by Robert Moses in 1941, but further development of the project was delayed until the early 1960s. It was cancelled in 1962 in the face of widespread community opposition to the road. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Manhattan_Expressway
