			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sessie 1: Slimme Steden en bewoners<br />
</strong>De openingssessie van Screening the City zoomde in op de relatie tussen de bewoners en hun stad. Op welke creatieve manier kan je omgaan met de content van de stad en welke content is er aanwezig in de stad en zijn bewoners?</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<a title="Screening the City Seminar Sessie 1: Slimme Steden en Bewoners by networkcultures, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/networkcultures/6436028865/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6436028865_b17549c18a_m.jpg" alt="Screening the City Seminar Sessie 1: Slimme Steden en Bewoners" width="240" height="160" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;color: #333333"><strong>The Quantified Self<br />
</strong></span><a href="http://www.jplattel.nl/">Joost Plattel</a> bestudeert dit op microniveau. Als volger van ‘<a href="http://quantifiedself.com/">The Quantified Self</a>’ beweging probeert hij door het meten van zijn eigen hersengolven, bloeddruk, eet- en slaappatronen en de relaties hiertussen inzicht te krijgen in hoe hij functioneert en hoe hij dit kan optimaliseren. De beweging ‘The Quantified Self’ is drie jaar geleden opgezet door Kevin Kelly en Gavin Wolf. Het is een samenwerking tussen mensen die zichzelf <em>tracken</em> en degene die <em>tools</em> hiervoor maken.</p>
<p><strong>Self knowledge through self tracking<br />
</strong>Zoals Joost uitlegt houdt hij niet alleen zijn eigen gegevens bij, maar ontwikkelt hij ook applicaties om deze gegevens inzichtelijk te maken. De <a href="http://ov-graphic.appspot.com/">ov-graphic</a> geeft bijvoorbeeld inzicht in je reisgeschiedenis en patronen. Maar om meer data te kunnen verzamelen heeft hij bijvoorbeeld ook zijn slaappatronen meter gehackt zodat deze nu ook kan registreren wat zijn concentratie niveau is en wanneer hij op de dag dus het meest productief is.</p>
<p><strong>N=1<br />
</strong>Joost vertelt hoe “The Quantified self” in principe bestaat uit een uiteenlopende reeks experimenten die gebaseerd zijn op N=1. Al deze experimenten kunnen inzicht geven in hoe je als individu functioneert binnen de stad, maar door het samenbrengen en het onderling afstemmen van deze individuele “micro-experimenten” kunnen er ook groepsonderzoeken ontstaan. Het onderzoek van “vele zelfs” kan dus ook betekenis hebben voor de gehele samenleving. Tijdens de vragenronde wordt benadrukt dat het <em>tracken</em> van jezelf en de data die hierbij vrij komt om voorzichtigheid vraagt. Instanties, zoals zorgverzekeraars, zouden hier bijvoorbeeld hun polis op kunnen afstemmen.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/networkcultures/6436031761/" title="Screening the City Seminar Sessie 1: Slimme Steden en Bewoners by networkcultures, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7161/6436031761_8ceb1a1da1_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Screening the City Seminar Sessie 1: Slimme Steden en Bewoners"></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;color: #333333"><strong>Figure Running<br />
</strong></span><a href="http://www.netvibes.com/leoloves#Leosuniverse">Leonieke Verhoog</a> kon helaas niet live aanwezig zijn, maar had een videocollage gemaakt met ‘webcam’ commentaar. Haar project, <a href="http://figurerunning.com/blog/">Figure Running</a>, gebruikt de straten van de stad als canvas. De bewoners maken hierbij op een creatieve manier gebruik van de structuur van hun stad. In haar video legt ze kort de functie van de Smartphone applicatie uit: Het geeft de mogelijkheid om figuurtjes te tekenen met je locatie en je telefoon terwijl je rent . Het stimuleert mensen op een speelse manier om meer te bewegen in hun eigen stad.</p>
<p><strong>Online en Offline<br />
</strong>Leonieke vertelt hoe deze applicatie is ontstaat uit haar fascinatie voor de relatie tussen online en offline en de verschillende manieren waarop je met deze relatie kan omgaan. Ze laat een aantal inspirerende voorbeelden zien: Het “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=AqgkCli2OZM">Urban Dash</a>” project van New Balance ligt in het verlengde van Figure Running. Het is een applicatie waarbij je als speler een virtueel stokje – dat afgepakt kan worden door andere spelers – zo snel mogelijk van de ene winkel naar de andere New Balance winkel moet brengen. Maar ze verwijst ook naar serieuzere toepassingen zoals <a href="http://www.layar.com/">Layar</a> of chirurgen die trainen met de Wii om straks operaties mee uit te kunnen voeren.</p>
<p>Leonieke benadrukt dat deze relaties tussen online en offline onze hele omgeving veranderen, de manier waarop we communiceren, spelen, werken, bewegen etc. Ze is benieuwd naar de spannende combinaties die de toekomst ons gaat geven.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/networkcultures/6436035023/" title="Screening the City Seminar Sessie 1: Slimme Steden en Bewoners by networkcultures, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7163/6436035023_dd86e8c567_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Screening the City Seminar Sessie 1: Slimme Steden en Bewoners"></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;color: #333333"><strong>Dropstuff<br />
</strong></span>De ochtendsessie werd afgesloten door <a href="http://www.renevanengelenburg.com/">René van Engelenburg</a> van <a href="http://dropstuff.nl/">Dropstuff</a>; een reeks van genetwerkte schermen die in de stad geplaatst kunnen worden waarop kunstenaars hun (interactieve) werk kunnen tonen. Dropstuff is ontstaan vanuit het idee dat makers niet meer afhankelijk moeten zijn van musea om hun werk te laten zien. Het is, zoals René het noemt, een museum zonder muren.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<span style="color: #000000"><strong>Museum Infrastructuur<br />
</strong></span>René vertelt over het ontstaan en de ontwikkeling van Dropstuff: In het begin reisden ze met een groot scherm rond door Nederland, in elke stad vroegen ze locale kunstenaars om een werk te maken waarbij ze de interactie met het publiek moesten aangaan. De werken richtten zich toen nog op interactie door middel van sms. Sinds die tijd is er veel veranderd door de komst van Smartphones. Daarnaast richt Dropstuff zich nu niet meer op één scherm, maar meerdere genetwerkte schermen verspreid over de stad. Uiteindelijk moet dit een netwerk worden verspreid over de wereld.</p>
<p><strong>Voortdurend Experiment<br />
</strong>Niet alleen de infrastructuur van Dropstuff heeft zich ontwikkeld, maar René herkent ook een ontwikkeling in de werken die ‘tentoongesteld’ worden en onderdeel zijn van hun collectie. In het begin was de interactie nog vooral één op één, waarbij jou handeling direct terug te zien was in het werk. Nu is de interactie veel meer gericht op de groep en het tegen elkaar spelen. Zoals René uitlegt zien ze dit als een voortdurend experiment. Zo stelt hij de vraag hoe de werken het beste de interactie kunnen aangaan met het publiek? Maar ook hoe ze de verschillende locaties van de schermen met elkaar kunnen linken.</p>

<p>On the 29th of November at Trouw we had the first day of &#8220;Screening the City&#8221;. It was an interesting day with the SpaceSee worksession and a film evening with <a href="http://www.trouwamsterdam.nl/en/program/2011/11/data-on-the-screen-screening-the-city/149/">Data on the Screen</a>. The screenings provided an insight of different type of visualizations that are possible with the data we are generating and recording, or which recordings sometimes go unnoticed (information perceived by sensors, or by interacting in a website) and other times we gather on purpose, like checking in at Foursquare for example. From different perspectives and scales, this information that can also be impersonal like data traffic, or the 3,000 trash objects that MIT researchers traced after disposal, to very subjective like a father presenting a timeline of his son learning to say &#8220;water&#8221;.</p>
<p>During the evening visitors could vote on their smartphone for the best data visualizations, through a special applet:</p>
<p>The audience could choose between &#8216;informative&#8217; and &#8216;cool&#8217;. It turned out that the visualizations that gave more information were perceived as &#8220;cooler&#8221; by the audience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The power of huge projections and moreover in the context of a massive event help us rethink old concepts like monumentality in architecture. You don&#8217;t really need to construct something huge or something new, the built environment doesn&#8217;t have to be permanent, the memory of the experienced space and moment remains in the minds of people who where there. The fact that it is linked to a specific place and a specific moment in time makes it somehow more special because of the nature of what is ephimeral.</p>
<p>Last Monday 28th of November there was a huge light show projection at the Millbank Tower, London.  Nokia, as part of his new advertisement campagin for the new <a href="http://nokia.ly/uBVXxw">Lumia 800 </a> brought <a href="http://www.deadmau5.com/">deadmau5</a> together and what they defined as 4D technology (in which music was the 4th dimension) and created a spectacular light and music show. It is interesting how the advertisement industry has recognized that publicity alone does not add value to the experience of public space, and that in order to reach your audience it becomes increasingly important to make them remember you by a construction of experience-meaning and not by, for instance, an empty banner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year&#8217;s <a href="http://www.picnicnetwork.org/festival">PICNIC</a> festival  spanned the theme of Urban Futures. The question on the table was how cities of the future could adapt to deal with a global population  set to hit 8 billion by the year 2030. A broad variety of talks, workshops and activities were held in Amsterdam&#8217;s northern docklands in a temporary settlement built just for the event.</p>
<p>Urban Screens crew visited the festival, and couldn&#8217;t miss a workshop of our special interest: &#8220;<a href="http://www.picnicnetwork.org/conference_sessions/125">Urban Screens and the Electric City</a>&#8220;.  It took place on the 1st day of the festival, Wednesday September 14th at the Crystal Palace. Different speakers shared their ideas and at the end of the session there was a group activity to creatively propose content for urban screens.</p>
<p>Matt Cottam from Telart presented <a href="http://soundaffectsnyc.com/#making">Soundaffects</a>, an experiential project by Parsons The New School for  Design. It takes environmental data, like weather or traffic, or even motion and connectivity,  and transforms it or expresses it with musical sounds. The idea is to let us see and listen to our environment, from a new point of view, a different way to understand our cities. Matt  uploaded some pictures of the results of the quick workshop, you can check them out in his flickr account by clicking on the picture:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattcottam/6150109080/in/photostream"><img src="http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/urbanscreens/files/2011/09/Urban-Screens-and-the-Electric-City-Workshop-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another speaker was Maia Garau from <a href="http://www.xplane.com/">XPlane</a>. Their company focuses on Business Design Thinking. They combine research, collaborative consulting, design thinking, social media technology and visual communication. She made an open invite to everyone to attend their <a href="http://www.xplane.com/community/visual-thinking-school/">Visual Thinking School</a>, which is open to the public and takes place every 1st Thursday of every month at their offices in Portland and Amsterdam.</p>
<p>Beeker Northam from Dentsu London Strategy Director was also present. <a href="http://www.dentsu.com/">Dentsu</a> is a communication agency and they are working on various innovative advertisement projects. An interesting project by their authorship is a video which was produced using Ipad tablets to &#8220;paint&#8221; with light. You can check the make-off in the following link: <a href="http://vimeo.com/14958082">Making Future Magic.</a></p>
<p>Chris Heathcote, Creative Technologist also from Dentsu noted how screens have crept into our cities. He addressed examples like the tube in London, where in a period of 50 seconds you can see 60 screens while going down or up the escalators. He also exposed the fact that there are more than 75,000 screens installed in public in the UK. Some of the characteristics that he can relate to urban screens is that they are normally silent, you can&#8217;t turn them off, they might be or not controllable, might be or not aware of you through sensors. Uses and location, he added, are important characteristics to think about, some screens are used in many contexts for many different reasons, from gyms to post offices, there are screens for information, for interaction, advertisement&#8230; some of them are even virtually unreadable because of their location, etc.  You can read more of his ideas about urban screens in the following link:  <a href="http://anti-mega.com/antimega/2009/09/30/screens-in-context">http://anti-mega.com/antimega/2009/09/30/screens-in-context</a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.random-international.com/">rAndom International</a> is a London-based collective who are developing projects and installations that have as a goal to re-interpret the  ‘cold’ nature of digital work and emphasize on the interaction of the audience with the object.</p>
<p>&#8216;A study of time&#8217; is one of their recent works, which is based on their choreographic design for the dance piece FAR by<a href="http://www.randomdance.org/wayne_mcgregor"> Wayne McGregor</a> at Random Dance. It was premiered at <a href="http://www.designmiami.com/">Design Miami Basel 2011</a>, and takes light as a medium for the representation of the time of day. An algorithm reveals the time through the strong communicating power of light and shadows, reminding us of sundials, surfaces that let us interpret the time by analyzing the shadows the sun casts in them.  Especially interesting about this piece are the transitions and the visual effects that the illuminated points in the &#8220;deep grid&#8221; achieve.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From 25 August until 11 September 2011, the American artist David Michalek&#8217;s large scale portraits of renowned dancers are projected onto super-sized screens at Spui, in the city centre of The Hague. The super slow-motion videos, shot with a high-speed camera recording at 1,000 frames per second, reveal the muscular tension and precision of a dancer&#8217;s body in action. Three portraits are shown side-by-side, randomly selected for 10-minute each cycle, allowing viewers to simultaneously compare dancers from different styles and cultures in meticulous detail.</p>
<p>In addition to 40 portraits of international dancers, <a href="http://en.holland-dance.com/">Holland Dance</a> has commissioned three portraits of Dutch dance talent: Sabine Kupferberg (formerly affiliated with the Netherlands Dance Theatre), Stijn Hoogendoorn (a young dancer sometimes referred to as the Dutch Billy Elliot), and Besim Hoti (who was nominated for a VSCD-dance award, in 2009).</p>

<p>By exhibiting the work on large urban screens, the city of The Hague wants to festively open <a href="http://cityofdance.nl/page/home-en">the new dance season</a>. </p>
