120217 What are social cities of tomorrow
How do we make use of new media technologies in urban design? At the conference Social Cities of Tomorrow (Amsterdam 17-2-2012) we propose the concept of the social city as an alternative design approach to 'smart cities'.
Presentatie ICT Rotterdam
This document discusses how digital tools are shaping communication and cooperation in both physical and digital spaces. Some key points made include that digital tools allow for (1) scalable and adaptable forms of communication and cooperation, (2) ubiquitous and seamless communication anywhere and anytime, and (3) increased transparency through tools like social media. However, digital contacts may lack richness compared to physical contacts due to lower investment and choice. New models are needed to organize cooperation across both physical and digital realms.
Smart CitySDK at Apps for Smart Cities
The document describes Smart CitySDK, a pan-European project that aims to create a common ecosystem and application platform for smart cities. It involves collecting needs from cities, developers, and citizens to develop common services around participation, mobility, and tourism. Lead pilots will take place in Helsinki, Amsterdam, and Lisbon, with the goal of replicating the pilots in other cities. The final version of the Smart CitySDK services is planned for 2014.

HUMlab 2010
HUMlab is a space that brings energy and innovation to the field of digital humanities. It functions as a place for study, research, project development, lectures, and exhibitions. Sofas, an aquarium, and bookshelves placed amongst cutting edge technology creates a welcoming space for everyone. The prefix "arche" relates to origins, foundations, and sources of power and authority, and archives are about narratives of identity and belonging as well as politics of ownership and access. Archive 3.0 involves bringing archives alive through remixing, rich engagement, and co-creative regeneration. The Umeå Arts Campus aims to foster knowledge development through a unified location for education, research, entrepreneurship, and artistic development in architecture
Social Media for Expert Info Presentation
A preliminary set of considerations regarding the implementation of a social media agenda at a small company specialising in technical writing, copy production and language control in Stockholm Sweden.
Prefacing interaction
The document discusses copyright and remixing in digital literature. It states that copyright prefaces a work and acts as a guide for how others can respond to and reuse the work. It describes different types of copyright agreements like the Berne Convention, End User License Agreements (EULAs), and Creative Commons (CC) licenses that can be used to specify allowed responses and reuse. It provides a definition of remixing as the transfigurative appropriation of older materials to create something new derived from source materials.
BARRETT_THESIS_ERGODIC_REVISITED_SPATIALITY_DIG_LIT
This dissertation examines how spatial components in four digital interactive literary works define reader interaction and shape the narratives that emerge. It analyzes the works according to their prefaces, design, and addressivity, which anticipate reader responses. Representations of space and spatial practice influence interaction potentials. The spatial foundation coordinates text, images, audio, and navigable spaces. By closely reading the spatial aspects, the dissertation argues the spatial dominates narrative formation through interaction in digital literature, with implications for storytelling theory.
Social Media as Academic Economy
Social media, or shared user generated content that is most often found on the Internet within large communities centered on a publishing platform, represents a part of an economy, or a system with values and rewards based on exchange. By engaging with their work via social media academics participate in a knowledge economy, at the center of which is a projected or extended self. By developing expertise in the use of social media value can be created in the knowledge economy related to strength of network, profile and branding, prestige, access to knowledge, dissemination and authority or expertise.
In this presentation I attempt to:
1. Construct a rational for using social media as an academic
2. Explore some of the principles for using social media
3. Suggest approaches to research on social media as objects of study or tools.
This was presented at the Social Media Knowledge Exchange conference, Center for Research in the Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge 3 July 2013.

Religion In New Places
This presentation discusses a selection of examples of what I term ‘rhetorical holiness’ created using Second Life (SL), a multi-user virtual environment (MUVE) on the internet. Second Life is a three dimensional persistent space made up of thousands of islands (called sims). In SL a person is represented by an avatar, a body which they manipulate in the environment. The avatar can travel around the huge space of SL in real time visiting themed sites, buying and selling virtual commodities and participating in social and cultural events with others. The shared online three dimensional spaces of SL include religiously themed sites where the holy is one of the main defining criteria of interaction. The sites in SL that I have examined are the Buddhist island of “Bodhi Sim: Land of Buddhadharma - a Second Life fansite” and two mosques built in SL; the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Cordoba Mosque. Finally the Koinonia Congregational Church of Second Life is a Christian church which operates entirely in SL. For the purposes of this presentation, these sites are examined for the use of symbols from three established religious contexts that have been re-deployed in the virtual environment. The purpose of such an exercise is to identify a system of rhetoric within a larger literacy for such three dimensional virtual environments.

Narrative as Inteface
This presentation is part of a larger video project. Here I present a few of the major points in the development of the interface as a narrative medium. This is narrative not in the sense of telling, but of experience. We perform stories using digital tools.
“Bodies, Space and the Virtual: A Narrative of Becoming"
This document discusses how augmented and virtual reality technologies can be used to augment physical spaces and create new virtual spaces and experiences. It mentions examples like using augmented reality to make it appear that the Beatles are performing in Dam Square, and a museum application that allows users to explore historical spaces. The document also references how early technologies like punchcard-controlled looms were precursors to modern computing and virtual environments.
HUMlab: Virtual Worlds Learning and Research
The document discusses the concept of archives and their evolution from Archive 1.0 to Archive 3.0. Archive 1.0 refers to early state archives stored as inscriptions, while Archive 2.0 denotes digitized archives with efficient search and retrieval. Archive 3.0 involves new architectures for producing and sharing archival resources in animated and interactive ways through remixing, engagement and regeneration. The document also lists various learning and research projects conducted in virtual worlds at HUMlab, including machinima filmmaking, language learning, and pharmacy simulations.
Understanding cities using ViziCities and 3D data visualisation
ViziCities is an open-source 3D city visualisation platform powered by open data, WebGL and many other cutting-edge Web technologies. ViziCities not only allows you to explore any city in the world in 3D in your browser, it also lets you overlay data like live transport, crime, pollution, live social data, and weather. Think SimCity meets the real world!
In this talk, Robin Hawkes, ViziCities’ founder will introduce you to the project and demonstrate its powerful methods for visualising the complex data locked within our cities.
Urban Screens
This document summarizes a presentation about using large outdoor screens in Helsinki for more than just advertising. It discusses researching locals and tourists to understand their information needs, like transportation schedules and events. Design proposals are made for interactive maps, visualizations of nearby activity, and integrating the screens with mobile planning and information. The goal is to make the screens useful sources of real-time city information and services for residents and visitors.
The evolution is using xr for municipalities starting
This document discusses how a municipality in the Netherlands used XR (extended reality) technologies like AR and VR to address challenges from COVID-19 restrictions and improve public services. It provides examples of how the municipality digitized cultural heritage, hosted virtual meetings and events, and created digital training simulations. Going forward, the municipality plans to further develop applications in meeting, collaborating, exhibiting, and simulating to virtually serve citizens in areas like education, healthcare and sustainability. The goal is for municipalities in 2030 to use technologies like digital twins and XR to more efficiently address issues like waitlists, gather community input, and achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Citymessage Presentation
This document describes a new type of social network using public screens distributed throughout a city to share information between retailers, associations, public administrations, and citizens. Content can be managed in real time from a mobile device and displayed across multiple screens. The system allows for easy insertion of images, text, and news updates viewable immediately on all assigned screens. It provides increased visibility for commercial and social organizations while aiding emergency management and navigation in the city. Over 100 users from various public, commercial and social groups are currently utilizing 38 installed screens in the network.
RESEARCH REPORT D2
The Smart City World Expo 2016 was held in Barcelona from November 15-17 and brought together innovators in smart cities and future urban development. The consulting firm TGAC attended to research innovations that will shape cities and mobility in the future, such as for their work on the 2020 Dubai World Expo. Over three days, TGAC attended talks from thought leaders and interacted with technologies. Key topics discussed included the challenges of rapid urbanization, taking a human-centered approach to development, and ensuring new technologies actually improve quality of life.
Guest lecture Society 3.0 & S2M for NHTV (Breda)
This document discusses the transition to a "data society" and the rise of new forms of production, value creation, and sharing enabled by digital technologies and networks. Key points include:
- Cities and connected people are becoming more important than countries and organizations as digital networks blur physical boundaries.
- Technologies like 3D printing, crowd-funding, marketplaces, and the internet of things allow for new forms of fabrication, prototyping, funding, selling goods and services.
- The concept of a "third space" that blends virtual and physical experiences in shared workspaces, meeting spaces, and "serendipity machines" that connect people based on shared interests and expertise.
- Companies like
City branding
The document proposes a data-based platform to build engagement between citizens, tourists, neighborhoods, and the city of Athens. It aims to explore the hidden stories behind Athens' neighborhoods and make lesser known places more accessible. Examples are provided of similar projects in other cities like Urban Forest in Melbourne, which uses tree data to educate citizens and tourists, and Barcelona Global, a citizen platform for ideas and actions. Requirements to develop the Athens platform include computers, servers, internet connection, office space, a developer/designer team, and fundraising. The platform would involve citizens sharing stories, knowledge, and ideas through crowdsourcing and maps to improve neighborhoods and give tourists new places to explore, boosting Athens' reputation.
Society 3.0 for Vitens
The document discusses how society is transitioning from the Industrial Age to the Data Age and outlines several trends that will characterize this transition. These trends include the rise of mega-cities and crowd-companies, the blurring of boundaries between physical and digital spaces, new models of production like 3D printing and the sharing economy, and the emergence of "third spaces" that blend the real and virtual. The document promotes the concept of a "Serendipity Machine" that would facilitate random, unexpected encounters between people in various third spaces to drive innovation.

This document discusses the transition to a new type of "data society" enabled by digital technologies and sharing economies. It envisions "3rd spaces" that blend the virtual and real by providing online workspaces, meeting spaces, and desks that can be easily reserved. These spaces aim to facilitate serendipitous connections between people by showing who is present along with their expertise, interests and what knowledge they can share. The goal is to increase innovation and economic opportunities by better connecting people who may provide useful information or insights to each other through unexpected encounters enabled by a "Serendipity Machine."
James Burke's Presentation at Emerging Communication Conference & Awards 2009...
By 2050, 7 billion of the 9 billion people living on Earth will live in cities. Cities will see a doubling in size of those with populations between 10 and 20 million inhabitants. As cities grow, infrastructure will need to be upgraded through approaches like cloud computing, APIs, sensor networks and other technologies to support this urbanization. The intelligence of city residents, their collective problem solving abilities, and artificial intelligence embedded in the urban environment will be key dimensions for developing intelligent cities.

Urban lenses
The document discusses how data is creating a digital version of Amsterdam that exists online and is made up of layers from different datasets. These include maps from OpenStreetMap, transportation and travel information, social media data from Flickr, Foursquare and Twitter, and power consumption data. The document argues that for the digital and physical versions of cities to truly merge, unique identifiers need to be agreed upon for buildings and businesses so that all this online data can be connected and new possibilities can emerge from ideas and data "mating" or "having sex" with each other.
Policing 2.0 (15.10.10)(final)
The document discusses how policing needs to adapt to changes in society due to new communication technologies and the internet. It argues that the concept of "community" now includes online groups that never meet in person. It suggests that policing should engage with online communities through social media to build relationships, understand cultures, and enable coproduction of services to reduce costs. Building relationships online can help offset cuts to policing budgets and manpower by allowing the public to take on more responsibility for their own safety.
Beyond
The document discusses the potential business applications of virtual worlds like AlphaWorld, which was launched in 1996 by Worlds Inc. It describes how virtual worlds allow for new forms of collaboration, learning, marketing and transactions. Worlds Inc. is a leader in this area and has many corporate customers. AlphaWorld in particular allows for 3D interactions between users and has over 100,000 citizens. The document outlines both the technical challenges and opportunities that virtual worlds provide for businesses.
